AS Project Connect Recruitment and Retention Center’s philosophy is creating opportunities for networking, navigating, and making college transition easier. Project Connect exists to empower and involve the student body to promote higher education and facilitate graduation for low-income and historically underrepresented communities. This program was founded in Spring of 2006 by a former SFSU alumni, Mario Flores.
