Message from Michelle Mikin of Success Consortium (a project of Cal-Soap) : Our main goal is to increase the number of students from backgrounds or areas with low college eligibility to prepare and attend two and four-year, and/or post-secondary institutions and other career pathways. My services include individual or small groups and classroom advisements to inform students (esp.
