"I was lucky enough to participate in Summer Bridge in two ways: first as a student and then served Summer Bridge as a resource assistant. As an incoming freshman, I was able to participate as a student, I made progress towards my degree by earning 8 units and made strong friendships that will last a lifetime. As a Resource Coach I was able to give back to the program that welcomed me so kindly into UC San Diego and got paid to do it!"

"I participated in Summer Bridge in 2019 and it really helped me find a community here at UC San Diego Coming from a small high school in South Central Los Angeles, it was important for me to feel supported at a large university like UC San Diego. I was able to gain access to many resources, opportunities, friends, and mentorship that helped me flourish as a first generation college student at UC San Diego."

Now being a peer mxntor I have been able to be a support person for them and help them bet through their first year."
