Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the characteristics of the EOF program participants at Rowan University to determine if services currently being offered are sufficient given the students' backgrounds. Different characteristics can be indicative of different needs. Being able to determine who the Rowan University EOF students are will be beneficial in evaluating services and determining implications for future practice. The study took place at Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ in the spring 2022 semester. Although the sample size in this study is small and findings may be limited, data suggests that EOF students are using very few of the resources that are presently being offered at Rowan University.
