Getting Involved

Preparing for University Living and Learning (PULL)

The PULL Program was initiated in 1996 to help our first year students succeed at the University. Students are not required to attend these programs, but we believe that the students who do participate in these programs will have a better chance of succeeding in college. Food and other prizes will be provided at most of the programs.
