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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of Bridge, nearly&nbsp;700 students&nbsp;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\u2019s degrees, bachelor\u2019s degrees, and even master\u2019s degrees. Just as importantly, many students leave the program engaged in the world of ideas in new ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/commonthread.antioch.edu\/the-bridge-program-celebrates-20-years\/\" style=\"background-color:#50a684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Read the full article here<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the fall of 2019, the Bridge Program at Antioch University Los Angeles will celebrate 20 years.
