Riverside High School and Medaille College are increasing their partnership, from college faculty helping students perform better academically to providing scholarships.
Mary Ellen Mulvey is Medaille's senior director of instructional support and community partnerships.
Mulvey says Riverside and Medaille's student profiles match in being first-generation college, Buffalo residents and needing student financial aid.
"That was one of the reasons why we wanted to partner with Riverside High School, there a lot of similarities," said Mulvey said.
