~Parents providing resources for college success~
The Office of Precollegiate Programs-Bridge Program Parent Support Group “CONNECT” was established in 2007 to bring participating parents together in a collaborative effort to support the overall goals and objectives of your college bound student.

Parents come together as one from a variety of backgrounds, professions, and cultural ethnicities to participate in valuable speaker series and gain a strong sense of community support for one another. Expert presenters will cover various topics including but not limited to the college admissions process, financial aid, leadership development, career exploration, networking, and the college research process.
