Improving Equity in Missouri

The Postsecondary Equity Network (PEN) brings together over a dozen colleges and universities committed to eliminating equity gaps in degree completion for Black students and students from low-income backgrounds. Using the equity-minded framework, institutional teams of staff, faculty and students advance equity strategies at their own institutions while identifying opportunities to strengthen the system statewide.
