Despite student, family, and staff ‘s best intentions, some recent high school graduates planning to go immediately to college never arrive in August. This year, given the challenges of COVID, there is a real possibility that this phenomenon, often referred to as “summer melt”, will impact an even larger percentage of students, particularly those students most often already underrepresented in higher education. We are brainstorming ways in which Early College can help mitigate this situation.
On this page, we’ve included additional information as a resource for you as we work together to “Bridge the Gap” to college!
If you have ideas that have worked for you or resources to share that you have found helpful in keeping students going after high school graduation, please contact Kelly Kennedy so they can be added to this page.
