We Belong In College

Watch students share their stories of struggle & triumph to know that #WeBelongInCollege

Listen to Learn

Research has shown that when young people listen to the college experiences of other students who are from a similar background, they are more likely to connect with those stories and learn from them.

#WeBelongInCollege is a social media campaign that grew out of the Personal Statement impact campaign and encourages students to share their stories of struggle & triumph so that all students know that #WeBelongInCollege. Watch a few of their videos below!
