Lauren Galarza joyfully makes her way through a ropes course
with the help of others in the Summer Bridge Program. The program,
now in its 30th year, is part of the University's Comprehensive
Studies Program. It offers intensive academic preparation, individualized
academic advising and the personal attention of faculty in its
extended academic orientation program offered during summer, during
which students develop a peer support network and familiarize themselves
with campus. Galarza is assisted by students, from left, Tanisha
Darko, Chris Arteaga, Emilia Mondragon and Tiffany Reeves, and,
in the baseball cap, Challenge Program facilitator Noah Borton.
