The Bridge Program offers a three-term (fall, winter, spring) opportunity for promising first-year students to transition into college. The program is mentorship-driven, meaning each Bridge student pairs with a former Bridge student who works as a peer mentor. The Bridge mentors are partnered with the Bridge classes to support students’ transition into college and develop the skills needed for success. The program starts with a pre-fall week of cohort building and academic readiness, then progresses into three segments of central themes during the Fall, Winter, and Spring Bridge classes. In the fall, we further students’ college readiness skills.

During the term, everything from applying for scholarships to essential study skill-building is practiced. In Winter, the focus shifts to community service. Students learn to contextualize themselves as a part of a larger community. During the Spring term, the focus is on leadership skills. Bridge students design a direct group project focused on furthering the skills required to become leaders in their communities.
