"We are the student initiated and student run retention and outreach center that provides a personal, holistic approach to the empowerment of our peers with resources on campus in a collaborative effort. Through outreach and education, we seek to develop a broad, inclusive community inspiring gratitude and understanding of both differences and similarities, and fostering a safe and positive environment for students."
SORCE believes the University of Colorado at Boulder must be a progressive leader in creating a diverse student body by providing access and educational opportunities to underrepresented community members to reconcile historical injustices of the U.S. education system. To this end, SORCE joins the University in creating and sustaining an inclusive and equitable society.
**Underrepresented students, specifically according to representation here at CU, are defined as: low-income students, students of color, first-generational students, students with disabilities, LGBTQI students, student parents, and non-traditional students.
