ENG 1050. Composition I

Provides students with a foundation in critical reading and writing practices by introducing different types of texts and ways of working with them; students will recognize and interpret differing perspectives and will analyze and synthesize others’ work, producing several texts of moderate length.

MAT 1050. Introduction to College Mathematics 

Topics from mathematics which may include sets, logic, algebra, graphs, functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, geometry, probability, and statistics. Problem solving is emphasized.

MAT 1070. College Algebra 

A study of the real and complex number systems, algebraic expressions and equations, polynomial and rational functions and their graphs, inequalities and their graphs, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs, systems of equations, and conic sections.

Each student will be assigned an upperclassman as a peer mentor.  Peer mentors will schedule one-on-one meetings and assist you in getting connect to campus.  Students will meet their peer mentor at the Summer Bridge Kick-off. 

The Center for Student Success will provide tutoring services  for the participants of the Summer Bridge program that may need additional assistance with their enrolled courses. Peer tutors will provide assistance for the students to better understand the course material by connecting ideas, forming concepts, explaining events, and asking questions that will help the student to increase their understanding of the course material.

Intentional academic and social programming block where all participants meet and are led in various activities that include but not limited to: 

SOAR 

Students Obtaining Academic Resilience (SOAR) is part of the Center for Student Success under the University College. SOAR is an academic coaching program for any student enrolled at UNCP. SOAR academic coaches will be responsible for providing academic coaching to the summer bridge students to help in areas such as time management, stress management, motivation, test anxiety, test taking strategies, study skills, etc.  

Career Development 

Throughout the program we will collaborate with the Career Center to provide career and professional development opportunities such as resume reviews, linkedin and networking workshops and employer spotlights featuring STEM related businesses.  

Service-Learning Project 

Participants will plan, design and execute a STEM day filled with engaging STEM related activities (science experiments, math activities, building competitions, etc.) for k-12 students that participate in summer programs at local community partners (Lumbee Tribe Boys & Girls Club and the Pembroke Housing Authority).  We will partner with the office for Community & Civic Engagement. 

Leadership Development 

Partnering with the office of Campus Engagement & Leadership, participants will engage in a leadership development series that provides a process for peer to peer education based on the ideas of experiential learning and with a theoretical foundation based on the Social Change Model of Leadership.  In order to promote leadership as a collaborative, purposeful, values-based, relational leadership process, these workshops will focus on programs that engage students with a variety of abilities, and engagement levels, with appropriately designed opportunities to develop their leadership capacity.

Every Tuesday and Thursday the peer mentors will lead participants in a variety of co-curricular activities that include but not limited to: 

• Pool Day (indoor pool battleships, free swim) 
• Sea Turtle Hospital Trip (STEM Exploration) 
• Basketball / Dodgeball (free play in gym) 
• Hawks Nest (Gameroom, bowling, pool) 
• Field Day (outdoor kickball, water balloon, etc) 
• Native American Museum (Native Craft) 
• Scavenger Hunt / Capture the flag
