The dynamic real world lessons of the Connect-5 Program are born of Tawan’s first-hand experiences as a struggling student, non-traditional student, successful student, student leader, and college administrator. Each STEP in the program specifically addresses the yearly needs of a student’s educational experience – from college prep to cap and gown.

Through the Connect-5 Programs students are encouraged to embrace their own unique college experiences and get everything they can out of their four years.
