ASU offers bridge program for black males




African-American male high school graduating seniors can apply to participate in a free four-week summer bridge program at Augusta State University. A meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 2, at 6 p.m. in 170 University Hall on the ASU campus for those interested in learning more about the program titled The Winning Game Plan.

The program offers 30 African-American males the opportunity to enroll in ASUO1000, a three credit hour orientation and study skills course at Augusta State. They will also attend math workshops and receive mentoring from ASU faculty, staff and students.

Scheduled daily events will include guest speakers and workshops related to central issues such as financial literacy, career exploration, interviewing, ethics, character-building, and leadership.

The program is supported by the University System of Georgia through its African American Male Initiative
