SOUTHEAST ASIANS FURTHERING EDUCATION

SAFE HISTORY

Southeast Asians Furthering Educations (SAFE) is a part of the Student Recruitment and Retention Center (SRRC) on the UC Davis campus. Brought by the Facilities And Enhancements (FACE) Initiative and the creativity, vision, and determination of students committed to outreach and retention, the SAFE program is continuing into it's sixth year of community service.

SAFE aims to empower Southeast Asian students to actively pursue higher eduation, retain Southeast Asian students currently enrolled in institution of higher learning, and engage parents in the educational process. Through recruitment, retention, resource and referral services, SAFE will empower students to successfully enter into and graduate from institutions of higher education.
