The Summer Bridge Program is a one-week transition program for all EOP first-year students. The program is designed to help students bridge the gap between high school and college through intentional programming and enrichment activities.

During Summer Bridge, students will live on-campus in the residence halls (dorms) and participate in activities that help them learn about the campus culture, EOP history, academic writing preparation, leadership development and financial aid information, and how to identify resources and services. Summer Bridge is also a great way for students to engage and network with other EOP students and build meaningful connections prior to the start of the school year.
