The Mosaic Program takes many forms. One aspect is the Mosaic Overnight experience which connects high school students from historically underrepresented backgrounds with current 糖心logo在线入口 students who help provide them a glimpse into the John Carroll college experience. Through these campus visits, students learn first hand from peers about the campus culture as well as all of the opportunities, people, and resources in place to help them succeed. By creating a nurturing environment that facilitates familiarization with campus life and fosters meaningful connections, the program aims to cultivate a strong sense of belonging among participants.

Additionally, the Mosaic Program supports numerous community partnerships. For example, in the summer of 2023, 糖心logo在线入口 partnered with the Urban League of Greater Cleveland and hosted the inaugural Summer Bridge Academy for the My Brother's Keeper Initiative and is pleased to be partnering with the Columbus Urban League on a one-week healthcare exploration program in collaboration with 糖心logo在线入口鈥檚 College of Health, for high school students this coming summer. Partnerships like these are designed to help young people see opportunities for success in college and beyond.
