2021 Adult Summer Bridge Celebration

Publish Date: Oct. 12, 2021

The Redlands Adult School and Crafton Hills College EOPS Department partner each summer to provide a summer bridge program for local adult school graduates who plan to begin community college in the fall.

On August 5, the group of graduates gathered to celebrate their accomplishments.

The five-week program prepares adult education students over the summer for transfer to college in the fall semester and gives them tools they need to succeed. According to EOPS Director, Dr. Rejoice Chavira,“Participants receive the knowledge and skills to build a bridge to a successful college experience.”

The cohort-based program cultivates relationships among these incoming students, who all have the same goal of starting their first year of college. “This experience fosters a sense of community while also building the confidence our students need to take on their first year of college,” Chavira said.
