Organizational Overview
UNT Dallas's mission is to transform the lives of our students by empowering them with the resources they need for success. UNT Dallas has a unique focus on serving under-resourced students in metro Dallas, becoming a pathway to the middle class for thousands of area students. Our core competence is preparing local students for high-need jobs in North Texas.

Program Overview
The Trailblazer Elite program (TBE) promotes student retention and ensures students successfully graduate from college. The program is designed to increase student retention, graduation rates in a timely manner, and career attainment. Traditionally, the TBE program has focused on first-generation college students. We teach students how to develop a support network that will help them navigate through their college journey and life.

In order to be successful, students must have a sufficient amount of interaction with faculty and staff on campus.

PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Trailblazer Elite students benefit from leadership development, academic enrichment, mentorship, networking, and priority access to student support services. Programmatic touch-points, metrics, and early alerts increase student success, retention, graduation rates, and career attainment.
Of those selected to participate in the first cohort, 95% were retained from Fall 2020 to Fall 2021. 86% were retained from Fall 2021 to Fall 2022.

In 2016, UTSA began to intentionally support our large population of first-generation college students. The First to Go & Graduate (F2G&G) program, housed in UTSA's First-Gen & Transfer Center, seeks to develop and support an institution-wide culture that actively recognizes, encourages, and supports first-generation students. Innovative features include the first-generation faculty to first-generation student coaching program, first-generation peer mentors, and an F2G&G Council comprised of students, staff, and faculty. First-gen groups form 'familias' that foster a sense of belonging and encourage retention and academic excellence. Since inception, the center has served over 1,700 students, of which nearly 60% are Hispanic. The most current first- and second-year retention rates for participants exceed UTSA’s overall rates: 88% vs 78% (fall 2020) and 73% vs 66% (fall 2019) respectively. Moreover, 40% of freshmen who participated in F2G&G [fall 2017] graduated in four years, 8% higher than non-participants.
