The Bridge Program Celebrates 20 Years
August 18, 2019, Los Angeles, By Karen Hamilton
In the fall of 2019, the Bridge Program at Antioch University Los Angeles will celebrate 20 years. Bridge, which provides University level education for students who may not otherwise have access to higher education, was founded in 1999 by alumni and faculty member Shari Foos with Founding Director and faculty member David Tripp.
As a result of Bridge, nearly 700 students have continued their education. They have engaged in creative and critical discussion and broadened horizons of possibility for themselves, their families, and their communities. Many alumni of the program continue their education and earn associate’s degrees, bachelor’s degrees, and even master’s degrees. Just as importantly, many students leave the program engaged in the world of ideas in new ways.
