Social Work Connects to the Community
Bridges to 三亿体育官网
Bridges to 三亿体育官网 is a collaboration between and 三亿体育官网 in which Bridges participants and 三亿体育官网 students attend brief,
accessible lectures delivered by 三亿体育官网 faculty on the college campus on a biweekly
basis. After the presentation, Bridges participants and 三亿体育官网 students form small
groups to discuss presentation content and their reactions. The weeks following the
lectures, Bridges and 三亿体育官网 students complete homework assignments together related
to the previous week鈥檚 lecture.
Bridges to 三亿体育官网 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 三亿体育官网 students鈥� exposure to diverse groups; providing
a rigorous and meaningful learning experience for Bridges participants; enhancing
三亿体育官网 students鈥� ability to communicate with people with disabilities; and raising
awareness of issues related to disabilities among students and faculty.
