Manhattan College Forms Partnership with CollegeBound Initiative

Manhattan College is proud to announce its newly formed partnership with CollegeBound Initiative (CBI) launching in fall 2011. CBI is a school-based college guidance program that helps students in inner-city public schools reach their potential and attend college. The partnership further represents the College’s commitment to educating first-generation college students rooted in Manhattan’s Lasallian Catholic traditions.

“Manhattan College is excited to collaborate with the CollegeBound Initiative considering our common goals of providing first-generation college bound students with opportunities to extend their academic talents beyond the high school classroom,” said William Bisset, vice president for enrollment management at Manhattan. “Since the College's founding in 1853, Manhattan’s mission has focused on providing a student-centered undergraduate experience and is very consistent with what the CollegeBound Initiative looks for in its partner institutions.”
