Building Bridges is a weeklong workshop in January. The program is created for first-year students and is aimed at reducing the achievement gap of low-income, racially diverse students. Sessions will focus on teaching skills critical to academic success; intentionally connecting students with resources; and helping them identify and secure financial assistance opportunities to cover their educational expenses. It is strategically scheduled during the last week of winter break, immediately prior to the start of the spring semester, providing students with room and board. Sponsorship ensures that the students will not have any barriers to participation and introduces them to your organization.
