Episode 105: Challenger Program

The Challenger Program is a formally federally funded “Student Support Services” TRIO Project funded by the Department of Education.  The Challenger Program is now funded under Student Success Services. Established at the University of Houston in 1987, this program was designed to assist students who are primarily low-income and/or first-generation college students to complete their education at the University of Houston.  Student participants come from an array of backgrounds that cut across all ethnic/racial, gender, and socio-economic boundaries.

In this episode, Adnan has a chat with Monica Floyd about the UH challenger program, its origins, and how it helps the first-generation student population at UH. They also discuss the first-gen student experience and why Monica chose her career path.
