SOAR Testimonials

Get familiar.
"Not only did SOAR help improve my work and study habits from high school, but I got a chance to become familiar with most of the campus and where my fall semester classes would be. My professors for my SOAR classes were excellent and I could tell they truly cared about getting us ready to take on college. I also met some fantastic people in the SOAR group who I still enjoy talking and hanging out with today."

SOAR is supportive.
"I would recommend SOAR to everybody. It was very supportive, which is what I needed. I got a taste of the college workload, I got familiar with the campus, I learned how to handle the stress, and I formed great relationships with the other students in SOAR. We stick together even now. I was set up to succeed because of SOAR."

They want students to succeed.
"SOAR was very good for my son, Jared. It really helped get him prepared. We found that everyone involved with the program was so helpful. They were very caring and really wanted the students to succeed. When he started the fall semester he felt so confident and inspired, I couldn't recommend the program more highly."

"In short, the soar program was extremely supportive and encouraging to Julie! She was given a chance to strut her stuff and enabling her to establish the confidence to move forward in her college experience! I am very proud of her and so happy with the environment and milieu Hartwick was able to provide for her to shine!"
