The office of Pre-College Programs is an area in Student Affairs that is investing in the
 future of the University and the community. The programs are very successful in giving
 at-risk and low-income students, as well as students who excel, the opportunity to
 experience college life before it actually happens; an intentional way to introduce the
 student to the University and open professional opportunities for the future. The office
 works with urban middle and high school students with limited exposure to college. The
 objective is to plant the seed for a future professional career; currently we have five
 major projects: College Reach Out Program, Partners In Progress, Center of Excellence,
 Talent Search and the Upward Bound, a part of the TRIO initiative. Contact us if you
 have students who are interested in these programs at fiupreco@fiu.edu.
