College has met the needs of five unique student populations by
developing programs designed to smooth the transition into
college and ensure greater first-year success and retention.
Specifically, the innovative bridge programs serve: (a)
first-generation, first-time in college, academically at-risk
high school graduates transitioning to college; (b) adult
students transitioning from adult education programs to college
credit programming; (c) new Deaf and Hard of Hearing students
preparing for the placement test while acclimating to campus;
and (d) students with mild developmental disabilities acquiring
general entry level skills to obtain gainful employment. Though
the programs vary in length and complexity, they all have common
goals of: (a) improving student retention and academic success;
(b) connecting students with vital resources and services; (c)
building student confidence and motivation; and (d) increasing
campus involvement.
