Mission
Students for Early College Access (SECA) aims to combat educational inequities by empowering under-resourced and underserved students — particularly in the Ithaca and Tompkins County area — with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to pursue higher education. Through partnerships with local schools and other student organizations at Cornell, we provide interactive college-readiness programming, academic resources, and mentorship to guide students through the college application process. Our mission is to expand access, raise awareness, and foster equity by equipping students with the agency to make informed choices about their educational futures.
