Please join us in welcoming the 11th Annual Summer Bridge: Class of 2012.

Seventeen new Auggies will begin their journey at Augsburg College with TRiO/SSS Summer Bridge. This five-week academic program is offered to Augsburg first-year students who qualify for the TRiO/SSS program as first generation, low income, and/or having a disability, in addition to meeting academic need requirements. Summer Bridge runs Sunday, July 8, through Thursday, August 9, 2012.

Summer Bridge students will take their first two Augsburg courses: REL 100: Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning taught by Lori Hale, and COM 111: Introduction to Public Speaking taught by Bob Groven. In addition to these courses, Summer Bridge students attend Supplemental Instruction sessions, workshops to learn more about Augsburg College and college life, as well as social and cultural enrichment activities. The students will develop a strong sense of community through learning and living together. The Summer Bridge program and TRiO/SSS are jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Education and Augsburg College.

A great deal of appreciation goes to everyone who continues to help us make this program a huge success every year.
