About Us
It is our goal to produce a cadre of educated citizens who will be well versed, sensitive to issues of cultural diversity, and have a heightened sense of social responsibility as they set forth to enhance the quality of life in the respective communities they serve.
Mission Statement
The Tri-State Consortium has a four-fold purpose:- To improve access to, and the quality of, higher education for students who are economically disadvantaged and academically underprepared in the states of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania;
- To stimulate conversation and share common concerns and techniques among various opportunity program personnel;
- To increase the effectiveness of these programs by strengthening the case of support; and
- To ensure the survival of Opportunity Programs in the Tri-State region and beyond.
