About FAEOPP
The purpose of the Florida Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel, Inc., is to bring together into a work and study community those persons who have an active interest in or who are professionally involved in broadening accessibility to and success in formal postsecondary education. Major focus will be:
- Those elements which prepare and condition students for postsecondary educational
experiences and
- Institutional responses to the challenge of serving more diverse student
populations. Although The Association will have a broad base of student concerns, it will be particularly concerned about those students who by reason of socioeconomic status, ethnic definition limited English-speaking ability and/or restricted cultural-educational experiences, find themselves in a position of disadvantage with traditional American students.
The Association shall seek to accomplish its purpose by:
- Engaging in the specific and general coordination of efforts with other organizations and persons having purpose supportive of, or in harmony with The Association's concerns;
- Promoting research, evaluation, programmatic, and fiscal planning, and training inclusive of, but not limited to, conducting workshops and seminars generally seeking to educate the public officials to the concerns of The Association;
- Developing the capability to make timely and meaningful responses to issues and concerns affecting the educational resources and environment of non-traditional students;
- Encouraging the development and expansion of the communication network primarily for those professionally involved in educational opportunity programs.
