What is Summer Bridge?

Summer Bridge (SB) is an exclusive hybrid summer orientation program for EOP, DREAM Center, Graton Rancheria, and Seawolf Scholars, first-time, first-year students transitioning from high school to Sonoma State University. As an SB participant, you will have the opportunity to connect with other incoming first-time, first-year students, faculty, and professional staff. Participants will receive advising and mentoring, and the chance to familiarize themselves with SSU and the surrounding communities. We invite you to watch our Summer Bridge video to learn more about the program. 

What is the purpose of Summer Bridge?

The primary focus of Summer Bridge is to give students "a taste" of university life, connect them to campus resources, provide them with opportunities to create supportive relationships, have the opportunity to take college courses that will earn them college bearing-units, and register for their fall courses.
