  • Connect with other Lumberjacks--both new Jacks and veteran Jacks.
  • Let AARC tutors tell you how they turned their grades around.
  • Listen to OMA mentors tell you how they found a home at SFA.
  • Discover the best campus locations to study and have fun.
  • Chat in small groups called Jack Packs where you’ll get all your questions answered. Meet our Jack Pack team!
  • Identify what you want out of college and let us share how to reach those goals.
  • Learn how to push through academic setbacks and keep moving forward.

How is Aspire different from other "get started early" programs?

We are all about an inclusive, multicultural, diverse, informal, small-group experience where immediately you know that you belong to a community.
