State is proud of its many outstanding achievements:
About me: SUMMER BRIDGEIs
designed to smooth the way for college students from high school to the university
setting. The primary focus of the program is to give the students a
taste of university life while creating supportive relationships
between them and other students and advisors. Summer
Bridge provides an introduction to campus life, student services,
and the surrounding community. It also provides participants with an
orientation to the university, academic advising, and registration
for Fall classes. Participants learn college survival skills
including handling needs such as housing, financial aid, budgeting,
and career and major planning. There is also time for leisure
activities and visits to locations off campus in Sonoma County. Most
importantly, Summer Bridge begins the development of a sense of
community for the Summer Bridge participants.

EOP ACADEMY
All first time Freshmen participants will take part in either a Freshman Seminar
UNIV 102 (See Video) and some will be involved in the EOP Academy. A major
component of the Academy is the development of a learning community where our
students will attend a block of classes with the same group of EOP students.

Students taking classes together in a learning community tend to adapt
quicker to the challenges of college, and in turn, become more successful
students during their first year.
..
Our goals for
the Academy are to provide academic and social support for our incoming EOP
freshmen, increasing their academic success and retention. Academy classes
include Freshman Seminar, English, and either a course in American
Multicultural Studies, or support classes in reading and writing. The
instructor for the Freshman Seminar class is also the students' EOP Advisor.
Contact the EOP Center, (707) 664-2427, for more information on the EOP
Academy.
