Our Core Values
As a student-driven organization, the heart and soul of the Collective Success Network are our student leaders. These are the 10 core values guiding our team culture and campus chapters to further nurture the strengths that first-generation college students and graduates bring to the table.
Our vision is to serve and benefit all low-income, first generation college students (rather than build a model that is exclusive or elitist)
