Part of the Center for Student Success, the initiative offers workshops, events and one-on-one guidance for UNC’s nearly 4,000 first-generation Tar Heels.

Summer Bridge, hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences’ Center for Student Success, prepares incoming Tar Heels for the transition to college through community building, experiential learning and coursework.

“To whom much is given, much is required.” This is what Latonya Brown-Puryear always remembers her father saying. The physician took his words to heart when she endowed a scholarship to the Summer Bridge Program.
