The Summer Transition Enrichment Program is a two-week summer-bridge residential program that provides incoming EOP students with an in-depth orientation to university life and campus resources. Students enroll in writing, mathematics, and chemistry courses taught by faculty and graduate students and participate in a seminar course designed to promote their critical thinking in reading and writing and in group discussions. Through collaborative work with staff and faculty, students discover ways to enrich their college experience and cultivate a sense of belonging to a university community. Evening programs and workshops provide opportunities to learn outside the classroom and engage in college life.
