My Circle of Champions is a program that helps college students build a strong support system while working toward completing their degree, particularly in STEM fields. The program is built on the idea that students are more likely to succeed when they have a community of people who believe in them and support them throughout their academic journey.

Students create their own “Circle of Champions” by inviting people who encourage and support them, such as faculty, mentors, advisors, family members, or other important figures in their lives. These Champions provide motivation, guidance, and reassurance during challenges.

Through reflection and communication, the program helps students recognize the value of community and encourages Champions to stay engaged in supporting student success. The goal is to strengthen the relationships around students so they feel supported, confident, and able to continue moving forward toward graduation.
