Project College Success

The goal of Project College Success was to collect and disseminate data that will increase knowledge of and practices for reducing mental health barriers to students who transfer from a community college to a four-year college or university. Through a grant from ECMC Foundation, project staff surveyed Virginia students who transferred from two-year colleges to four-year colleges and universities to collect information on the barriers and facilitators to obtaining the services and supports needed during this process of entering a new educational environment.
