“A Very Necessary Party”

House Party Benefits the Bridge Program

Gathering of people to learn about the bridge program

A Very Necessary Party was held on June 4, 2017, to support the Bridge Program, which provides university-level humanities education for students who may not otherwise have access to higher education. The fundraiser included both familiar faces and people for whom it was their first time to learn about Bridge. The event was hosted by the newly formed Bridge Council.

Bridge students earn up to 15 transferable units of university credit and study philosophy, literature, art history, writing, and urban studies–all free of charge. The Bridge program also provides a sense of solidarity, community, opportunity, and a new way of seeing the world.
