Opportunities for Former Summer Bridge Scholars

Summer Bridge Alumni Panel

During the first week of the course (typically July 5-9), current Summer Bridge chemistry scholars will have the opportunity to hear from a panel of Summer Bridge alumni. The instructor will contact former Summer Bridge scholars about the panel at the end of the Spring semester. All who are interested are encouraged to join!

Please email jade_fostvedt@berkeley.edu for more information.

Summer Bridge Peer Tutor

Each summer, two former Summer Bridge Chemistry Scholars will serve as peer tutors and mentors for the current Summer Bridge class.

Please reach out to jade_fostvedt@berkeley.edu if you are a former Summer Bridge chemistry scholar who is interested in one of these positions.

New Summer Bridge course introduces incoming freshman to chemistry research skills

An introductory cohort of 13 incoming first-years chemistry students were invited to take part in a new summer chemistry course, Preparation for Chemistry for College of Chemistry Majors. This six-week, rapid-paced lab and lecture course is part of the UC Berkeley Summer Bridge Program designed to help aspiring chemistry students who were unable to pursue advanced chemistry coursework in high school.
