GSPeer Mentors Diversity/Retention Group Project planner Our mission is to decreasethe number of college drop-outs with a strong emphasis on minority students. If students acquire attachment toward the campus, the less likely they are to drop out. Aside from GScounseling/one on one meeting, diversity events will also help keep students feel welcome and not out casted. At the same time, we can promote diversity not only campus wide but in our own GSclassesas well. **Note that all of the ideas listed are already existing programs ran by different departments. With that in mind, we spoke to the coordinators and decided to help promote these existing programs instead of creating new ones. WHAT
