Bridges to ÌÇÐÄVlog

Bridges to ÌÇÐÄVlog is a collaboration between and ÌÇÐÄVlog in which Bridges participants and ÌÇÐÄVlog students attend brief, accessible lectures delivered by ÌÇÐÄVlog faculty on the college campus on a biweekly basis. After the presentation, Bridges participants and ÌÇÐÄVlog students form small groups to discuss presentation content and their reactions. The weeks following the lectures, Bridges and ÌÇÐÄVlog students complete homework assignments together related to the previous week’s lecture.

Bridges to ÌÇÐÄVlog 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 ÌÇÐÄVlog students’ exposure to diverse groups; providing a rigorous and meaningful learning experience for Bridges participants; enhancing ÌÇÐÄVlog students’ ability to communicate with people with disabilities; and raising awareness of issues related to disabilities among students and faculty.
