Summer Bridge helps you step into success at LCC. Designed to support new students as they begin their journey. This short pre-semester program helps you get comfortable with campus, connect with people who are here to support you, and build the confidence to start strong. Whether you’re the first in your family to attend college or just want a smoother transition, Summer Bridge gives you the tools and connections to feel ready on day one.
This Year’s Program (2025)
Two half-day afternoon sessions August 11 & August 15
This year, ASPIRA is joining with Student Services to provide a full day of opportunities during New Student Orientation. Morning sessions cover the essentials like campus safety, financial aid, Title IX, and tech access. Student Life will host lunch and activities. In the afternoon, Student Services will focus on registration appointments. Whether you are excited to start working with us or just killing time until you can meet with an advisor, we hope you will drop-in on ASPIRA sessions to learn about:
- Assessing and Applying Strengths
- Growth Mindset and Resilience
- Academic Success Strategies
Open to all LCC students new or returning!
Where We’re Headed
This year is just the beginning. ASPIRA’s Summer Bridge will scaleup each year – adding more days, more support, and more community. By Year 5, it will be a week-long seminar with academic prep, career labs, family events, and even 1 elective credit for completion.
Why It Matters
Starting college is a big step especially if you’re not sure what to expect. Summer Bridge makes sure you’re not doing it alone. You’ll start college with confidence, support, and people in your corner.
