Summer Bridge 2006 Students

"Summer Bridge was a great experience. I had the chance to meet some great friends and tutors here. I'll always remember when I sang at BridgeFest and won the BridgeFest Idol contest. My advice to incoming freshmen who will be here for Summer Bridge is to get to know your mentors. They're here to help you with your academics and they'll be there to help you be successful at the University."

Raymond Vallido, Mechanical Engineering
