Why We Collaborate
Connecticut faces one of the nation’s largest achievement gaps. While the vast majority of students and their families aspire to a college degree, far too few students achieve their dreams of a higher education.
We Partner
With urban public school districts throughout Connecticut to improve student outcomes. Currently, the RISE Network brings together talented and passionate educators from 8 districts across Connecticut.
