Bridges to 91±¬ÁÏ

Bridges to 91±¬ÁÏ is a collaboration between and 91±¬ÁÏ in which Bridges participants and 91±¬ÁÏ students attend brief, accessible lectures delivered by 91±¬ÁÏ faculty on the college campus on a biweekly basis. After the presentation, Bridges participants and 91±¬ÁÏ students form small groups to discuss presentation content and their reactions. The weeks following the lectures, Bridges and 91±¬ÁÏ students complete homework assignments together related to the previous week’s lecture.

Bridges to 91±¬ÁÏ began in January 2010. Approximately 15 Bridges participants attend each semester. After four semesters, Bridges participants graduate from the program and a new cohort from Bridges begin their college journey. The objectives of this project include increasing 91±¬ÁÏ students’ exposure to diverse groups; providing a rigorous and meaningful learning experience for Bridges participants; enhancing 91±¬ÁÏ students’ ability to communicate with people with disabilities; and raising awareness of issues related to disabilities among students and faculty.
