Grad Studies YouTube ChannelAdelante Postbaccalaureate Pipeline Program Continues to Find Success
The Adelante Postbaccalaureate Pipeline Program, supported by a $3 million Title V Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions grant, continues to make a significant impact at Chico State. Impressively, 99 percent of graduate student participants have either been retained or successfully graduated. Graduation rates for first-time freshmen and transfer students also continue to surpass the University's average. Furthermore, the Adelante Wayfinders program has demonstrated outstanding success, as undergraduate mentees have applied to graduate programs at more than twice the rate of the general student population.
Adelante master’s students also continue to be accepted into esteemed doctoral programs. This year Gelsey Aldana, an accomplished Adelante Outreach Coordinator and 2023 master's graduate in Psychological Science, has been accepted into the Psychology Ph.D. program at Loma Linda University, and Juan Vega Ramirez, a former recipient of the Adelante Summer Research Award, will pursue his Ph.D. in History at the University of California, Davis. We wish them all the best as they pursue their academic goals.
In another milestone, the year 2023 marked the publication of the second volume of the esteemed Adelante Journal of Research and Creative Work, showcasing the scholarly contributions of Adelante participants.
These notable accomplishments underscore the success and impact of the Adelante program, empowering individuals to reach their full potential and pursue advanced studies. As Chico State celebrates the achievements of these exceptional individuals, it reaffirms its commitment to fostering excellence and creating opportunities for success.
