BRIDGE
First-generation freshmen arrive on college campuses with diverse
backgrounds and aspirations. This Program aims to ‘bridge’ these
scholars from high school to college, introducing them to university
faculty and coursework, the Dorrance Scholarship Programs and staff,
and to each other. The Program also includes a seminar on freedom of
speech to gain an understanding of this constitutional right and to know
its fundamental implementation on university campuses. Scholars earn
6 credits in the Humanities.
