Personal Excellence Program

Project Thrust's Personal Excellence Program (PEP) provides academic counseling, personal support, social and cultural enrichment programs to all Black first-time-in-college students at the University of South Florida. Throughout the academic year, the program uses strategies and specialized activities to strengthen students' academic skills, improve their ability to function in the campus environment and enhance their self-esteem.

The Personal Excellence Program provides a summer program for students who might not meet all of the University's admissions criteria but have the potential to succeed in college. The program helps to ease the transition from high school to college, establishes a strong academic foundation during the summer term, and exposes students to the full range of university resources and facilities. In the program, students receive a˙comprehensive summer orientation, individualized academic advising for the Fall Semester, course credit toward graduation, and strategies for surviving the demands of college life.
