Other partner regions include universities in and around Orange County (UCI, CSU Fullerton, Irvine Valley College, Fullerton College, CSU Long Beach), Colorado/Wyoming Front Range (Colorado State University, University of Colorado Boulder, University of Wyoming, University of Northern Colorado, Colorado College, and Metro State University), North Carolina (University of North Carolina Charlotte, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, University of North Carolina Greensboro) College Station (Texas A&M, Baylor, University of Houston), El Paso (University of Texas at El Paso and El Paso Community College) Texas, and the Atlanta, Georgia region (Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Spelman, Emory, Georgia Gwinnett College). PROGRESS plans to expand to additional regions in the 2024-2025 academic year. Ideal regions have multiple institutions in a relatively small geographic area that serve diverse populations.
