Summer Bridge

Purpose Statement

The Bridge Program prepares new SLCC students for college success through a dynamic summer experience that strengthens academic skills, builds confidence, and fosters a supportive peer community. After completing the program, students become Bruin Scholars—equipped with the tools, mindset, and connections to complete their college degrees in alignment with SLCC's strategic plan.
