Community Involvement Program
<img height="299" src="Images/student-life/commty_involv_program/CIP4(0).JPG" style="margin: 5px; float: right;" width="400" /> (CIP) was established in 1969 by a group of students, community members, faculty, and staff who wanted to provide educational opportunities to the local community and diversify the University of the Pacific campus. The program serves the educational needs of low-income, first-generation students by providing access to college and support services while students pursue higher education. Since the inception of this scholarship program, there have been over 1,000 CIP alumni. As part of the recruitment efforts, two signature events are held each year as a way of "PARTNERING TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL ACCESS". Our High School Counselor Information Session held in the fall and the Delta College Counselor Information Session in the spring on the Pacific campus. They provide an opportunity for local counselors to learn about the CIP application process which in turn, will assist them in advising and providing resources to potential students. An exciting part of these programs is the opportunity for counselors to hear about the experiences of current students in the program on a student panel. Counselors are engaged with administrators and staff from the Offices of Admission, Financial Aid, and the Educational Equity Programs at Pacific.
