The mission is to be part of a team to go to and work together with to help one other grow in our education and our future. Along side of participating in activities where we build teamwork by volunteering, play games, and etc. Most students will be science majors so we most likely have taken or will take the same classes so we can help each other in them. The point is to have each other to help and support as we progress our education and also keep knowing each other through fun activities to take the edge and stress off life and school. Another mission we would like to highlight would be to show case the benefits and different aspects of science majors. If a student is indecisive on their major, being part of the club could help them figure out what they have an interest for and potentially aid in their decision making for a major.

Some of the issues that GTF scholars have had to navigate in their matriculation to UHD have informed and enlightened university administrators to begin to investigate and extrapolate these same concerns as they relate to, not only ECHS students, but the general population of First-Time-In-College (FTIC) freshmen. Dr. Scott Marzilli, Dean of University College and Chief Student Success Officer at UHD, has suggested the formation of a GTF student organization that would serve as a network for other Early College High School students attending UHD that are not participating in the GTF Scholars Program, but would benefit from academic and social connection with those who share a similar background. Many students who have transitioned from an ECHS experience are unable to build a support structure as they enroll in junior and senior level courses where they are the youngest in those classes and encounter challenges unique to a similar demographic profile. The organization could take on an essential but never before coordinated role in providing an avenue to access resources and offer mentoring opportunities that would develop naturally for a population whose needs differ from the mainstream. Initially marketed as a social or service organization whose members share a common bond, this initiative could potentially serve as a critical retention strategy campus-wide for many ECHS students trying desperately to fit in and find their way. The concept was presented to incoming 2020 GTF scholars during the Virtual Fall Retreat and was received enthusiastically by several who expressed an interest in helping to organize such an effort with the leadership of their GTF Peer Mentors.
