Pipeline program: Helping students succeed
One central Brooklyn college is leading students to success with an ambitious Pipeline program – geared toward helping thousands of local students from disenfranchised communities throughout the borough succeed both in college and once they graduate.
Crown Heights-based Medgar Evers College (MEC) is now partnering with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams to expand the program, which started in 2014 at the school. Efforts are already underway, with Adams promising to double down on his contributions by doubling his financial and institutional commitments.
According to Adams’ office, the resources provided in the coming year “will build on the Pipeline’s success to ensure that students and families in the program receive comprehensive academic support from kindergarten through college.”
