from a very different time and place. The age of the Enlightenment and the Industrial
Revolution birthed our current system of education and yes, such a system was a revolutionary
idea for the time. However, if we looked around today and saw people, companies, or
governments using the same tools they were using two to three hundred years ago, we would
laugh and question why they were not taking advantage of the modern age in which we now find
ourselves. The public education model is antiquated and we cannot move forward to meet the
future by doing just what has been done in the past.

that was established in 1968 as a way of providing accessibility, support, and funding for New
Jersey students who come from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Based on the legacy, every New Jersey college and university has an EOF program that provides
incoming students with a pre freshman summer bridge program to help ensure their academic,
career, and personal success.
While this program is undoubtedly an academic and social good, careful attention needs
to be paid to how the program has been functioning in relation to the structure and design of the
program moving forward. This paper strives to scrutinize the strengths and weaknesses of the
Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Metropolitan Campus EOF program as it works to ensure that
the mission, goals, and objectives of the program are currently being met, and that the program
will be able to extend its support for future students.

The average incoming freshman faces a litany of challenges; these challenges are exacerbated by mental health problems of all types, which are increasingly acknowledged in literature on the topic. However, universities and colleges have historically and significantly lagged behind the realities of student mental health issues, creating a disconnect between who “goes to college” and “who graduates” when comparing students with mental health problems to the rest of the student population over time. Departments of student affairs must act on the many opportunities to collaborate with the higher education community as a whole as they seek to provide access and support to retain and graduate students who struggle with mental health issues.

How current policies affect this group during their tenure at a college or university not only relates to an increased awareness of how college stresses impact all students, but also to whether students with mental illnesses are currently being properly served by institutions into which they come in contact. This, in turn has significance for those students, scholars, and policy makers interested in recruitment, engagement, persistence, and graduation rates.
