Pirates in Progress
What is Pirates in Progress?
Pirates in Progress, or PiP, is a 10-week program. Students who join a PiP cohort will meet up once a week for interactive workshops and activities focused on their holistic growth and community-building.
Following the Mosaic approach — Engage. Reflect. Articulate. — PiP supports students in finding ways to engage on campus, in the community, with their peers, and to be mindful of how these experiences shape their academic and personal lives.
Space is limited to 15 students per cohort. Please complete this brief application to be considered. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis, and only complete applications will be considered.

With specialized cohorts listed below to choose from, PiP has something for everyone! Each Pirates in Progress cohort is committed to cultivating a tight-knit community. We’re excited to grow with our students and continue providing unique and individualized support to our Pirates!
