BEAM Student Survey Results



The BEAM evaluation team recently visited New York for their annual site. They requested the students served by BEAM to complete a short survey, which you can view the results by  clicking here.

BEAM Project Director, Veronica Miller, stated that "The results are a true reflection of the impact BEAM had on college stop outs. This feedback is wonderful and clearly indicates that the BEAM program is needed and positively impacted individuals interested in returning to post-secondary education". 

We congratulate all those who participated in this program as well as the incredible staff!
