Getting Ready for Summer Learning

Five Onondaga Community College students took advantage of an opportunity to explore an summer learning opportunity. On April 19 they visited SUNY Binghamton where they will spend most of the summer participating in the Bridges to Baccalaureate program. The 8-week paid summer science research experience helps underrepresented students transition from community colleges to a four-year institution.

This summer's participants from OCC are:

• Karar Abed
• Mary Abdikarin
• Balqiisa J-Elmi
• Dehaven McCray
• Naomi Workman

OCC students have participated in the Bridges to Baccalaureate program for 26 years. Many have enjoyed the experience so much, they have transferred to SUNY Binghamton after completing their degrees at OCC.
