CASA Summer Bridge Program

The CASA Summer Bridge Program is an intensive 5-week residential program aimed at helping first-year students enhance their academic and personal skills for a successful transition from high school to college. The program helps students build a sense of belonging and knowledge about the various resources available at CCSU. Invited EOP, TRiO-SSS, CARE and Travelers Edge Scholars take credited CCSU courses, participate in academic and personal wellness workshops, engage with peers, faculty, and staff, and gain information about potential majors and careers.

The 2025 CASA Summer Bridge Program will take place June 22nd – July 25th, 2025

For more information, email (eop@ccsu.edu) or contact the CASA Scholars Office directly (860-832-1907).
