Eastern University's Equip Program is an intensive two-week experience designed to provide entering students with a solid foundation that will support them throughout their entire college careers.
The academic component of the program helps students develop and solidify their skills in key areas essential to success in college. Students take classes targeting college level writing, math, and "success skills" such as time management, study skills, and relating to others in the college community. Students have the opportunity to begin some courses which continue into their first semester of college. EQUIP students live on campus throughout the program and get an early introduction to campus life.
Past EQUIP students have said the friendships they developed and their familiarity with the campus made them feel like they had a real advantage when they started classes in the fall. The EQUIP staff are looking forward to welcoming another group of entering students and helping them make their best possible adjustment to Eastern!
