Relativity, a global legal and compliance technology company, announced that it has forged a new partnership with Rise Academy, Chicago State University’s (CSU) first-year student success program. Through this partnership, four Relativity employees will become mentors for eight Rise Scholars. These mentors have experience in engineering, cybersecurity and business, and will draw on their own experiences to help guide and advise the students on their personal college and career journeys. CSU has long held an agenda grounded in equity, prioritizing increasing Black and Latinx communities’ access to college, and it recognizes that for far too many students, a range of obstacles prevent them from enrolling in or completing college. Rise Academy offers a tuition-free scholarship for all eligible incoming freshman scholars and is a year-long program that provides intensive academic support such as: embedded tutoring, intensive advising, individualized support on students’ academic and career pathway, and intentional efforts to build community between students and faculty. Relativity has also donated $50,000 in scholarships to seven of Rise Academy’s first-year students at CSU and this will help not only cover their tuition but include a personal laptop, textbooks and the campus healthcare plan.
