Act 101/EOP


Act 101/EOP
Bloomsburg University’s Act 101/EOP, coordinated through the Department of Developmental Instruction, provides support and opportunities for success to students traditionally under-represented in higher education.

Reaching Your Potential

Act 101/EOP assists students, who are at a financial, cultural, social or educational disadvantage, in making a successful transition to Bloomsburg University.

Value of Progress

Marcus Scales
Act 101/EOP develops students to their fullest potential through academic advising, tutoring, mentorship and a pre-college summer program.

Marcus Scales, who graduated in May 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in marketing, is one example of how Act 101/EOP develops students to their fullest potential.

Scales, an active mentor on campus, was recently profiled on the American Association of State Colleges and Universities website as a first generation college student.
