Established in 2023, the Student Engagement for Academic Success (SEAS) Program within the Engineering Academic and Student Affairs (EASA) focuses on retention, success and professional development for first-generation college students. SEAS promotes the success of over 3,600 current engineering undergraduate students by offering supportive learning and mentoring communities; designing high-impact educational experiences; and providing unique, relevant professional development opportunities. Faculty can engage with SEAS in several ways: recruiting first-generation students for research opportunities, serving as a mentor in the First-Generation Engineering (FGEn) Student Mentoring Program, presenting research overviews and developing outreach activities.
