provide the appropriate transition service to all students with disabilities; applying numerous and challenging programs and strategies. “Students learn to manage their time and money, network with professionals, and prioritize work and school assignments”.

Educational opportunity program at Cal Poly Pomona and all other twenty three California State University campuses address the access and equity for these minority group of students in higher education to provide support services for low income, first generation students from historically disadvantaged backgrounds. These educational institutions have been successful in increasing both the higher education attendance rates and educational attainment of students from low-income, first-generation college, and underrepresented ethnic minority backgrounds.

AB 504 passed January 1, 2018 which is a funding bill for community colleges to finance student success and support programs for underrepresented students in California. This bill requires colleges to have a list of eligible and ineligible expenses and activities to ensure that Student Success and Support Program funding are being used to support the implementation of student equity plan goals and the coordination of services for the targeted student populations (AB-504 Community colleges, n.d.). The Summer Bridge Program offers classes in areas such as English, Math, Study Skills and Orientation for first time college students coming straight from high school. This program helps students to make a successful transition from high school to college by providing guidance during the process. During the six-week summer program, students are eligible to enroll in a maximum of seven college units. One-on-one counseling sessions are also provided during the program in addition to other support services for first generation college

Summer bridge programs are a type of remediation and support program (Kezar, 2000). Like most of these programs, their creation resulted from the need to help new populations make the transition to college (Kezar, 2000). The main goal is to increase the retention rates of the populations that they serve and to ensure equal chances for success in their pursuit of quality education (Kezar, 2000). This is crucial because according to Gerdes and Mallinckrodt (1994) forty percent of college entrants leave higher education without earning a degree, and it is reported that studies show anywhere between twenty to forty percent of first time students require remedial coursework upon college entrance (National Conference of State Legislature, 2016).With that being said, Ohland and Crockett (2002) warn that programs should not identify themselves as being remedial as this may carry a stigma to the students which will hurt their retention efforts and numbers of participation.

Senior year rapidly is coming to an end, I’ve had the opportunity to see many of my friends come to the exciting moment in their life when they sign that dotted line and I was still waiting on my chance. My entire life I had dreamt of the day to finally committed to a college basketball team, this was my goal and it had to be my purpose in life. January 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM I got an exciting text from Truett-Mcconnell’s head coach, Matt Sanders, stating,” Good afternoon Claudia this is Coach Sanders from Truett-Mcconnell College, and I really feel like we need to begin the recruiting process with you! Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I just didn’t want to let time slip away! I look forward to hearing back from you!” Here was my chance!

The UWM Upward Bound program was able to help me be familiarized with the college application process and college-student expectations. It offered daily tutoring

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you back to another academic year here at Prince George’s Community College. As our students return to campus and our faculty and professional staff prepare for the busy weeks and months to come, I wanted to take a few moments to look ahead to an exciting fall term and beyond, as well as share a few of the College’s highlights from the past year—a year that has seen us continue our growth and evolution into one of the most dynamic and exciting institutions in the region.

There are many colleges and universities on the mission to further education and help people achieve life goals, but it is our choice to select one that will best benefit our future careers. For example the University of Massachusetts Boston, also known as UMass Boston, is well known for business school and MBA programs. UMass Boston was founded in 1964 after the Baby Boomer’s generation overwhelmed the Bay State’s only public school in Amherst. In 1863 Massachusetts Agricultural (Mass Aggie) was established in the state’s only public University, which was later turned into University of Massachusetts in 1947.

Hello my name is Joshua Simpson! I am 16 years old and I live in the Great Lake State! After graduating from SC4, I plan on transferring over to Wayne State University to earn my Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering. When I am not in school, I play the piano and the organ. And I love to draw!! The reason why I am taking this class is because I want to learn about the body and how it works, and also to learn how I can have a healthy life. I hope to gain knowledge from this class about how I can live a healthy and happy life. If I were to chose 4 words to describe me I would chose, hardworking, determined, diligent, and silly! I picked this words because I am always hardworking and diligent in my studies. I am very determined to finish school
