Summer Bridge Program

The Eastern LSAMP Summer Bridge Program runs Sunday, July 21, 2024, through Friday, August 2, 2024.  This required two-week residential program provides targeted math instruction to help place scholars in the highest and most appropriate math course during their first fall semester and refresher skills to improve their success in gateway courses.

During the Eastern LSAMP Summer Bridge Program scholars will begin strengthening their academic success skills and growth mindset skills, building a peer network and learning community, and begin creating a sense of belonging and self-identity.  Scholars will participate in workshops, meet and engage with guest speakers, and receive advising in preparation for the fall semester. We also recognize the importance of balance in one’s life, therefore we will offer social events.

Scholars will arrive to Eastern’s campus on Sunday, July 21, 2024. Scholars will not stay on campus over the weekend.  Out-of-state students and students with special circumstances should speak with the Eastern LSAMP Institutional Coordinator.  At the end of week 1, scholars will depart campus on Friday, July 26, 2024 and return to campus on Sunday, July 28, 2024. Scholars must provide their own transportation to and from campus on those dates.  Scholars will also need to bring their own toilet paper, linens, toiletries, etc. for their stay on campus. Scholars will be held to housing contract/university policies. Refer to the housing website to review the contract and see what is/isn’t permitted. https://www.easternct.edu/housing/forms-documents/housing-contract.html
