The mission of the RISE Program (Recruitment in Science Education) is to support and encourage under privileged students from the Salinas and Marina areas to expand their interest in science and math. The intention of the program is to increase the enrollment of under-represented populations in the Earth Systems Science and Policy (ESSP) Department at California State University at Monterey Bay. The RISE Program recruits students in the 6th grade and takes the jouney with them all the way through 12th grade. The program guides students to college through education, mentors, encouragement, friendship, scholorarships, and enthusiasm, creating a clearly defined path to college.
