Bridges to °µÍøTV

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

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