The R2R Story

Normalizing Academic Difficulty

R2R was founded in 2017 when EOP Assistant Director Yuki Burton observed various institutional equity gaps specific to the retention of EOP students. For too long, our students had internalized the label of "Academic Probation" as failure and defeat without a supportive community to process, heal and ultimately overcome this experience. Since its inception, R2R has grown from a 15 person seminar to a campuswide student network of over 150 students. While the services have expanded, the core mission has remained the same: to destigmatize the shame associated with Academic Probation and empower our EOP students to reach their highest potential at this university.
