BRIDGE Builders

The BRIDGE Builders are a student leadership team of men of color who help BRIDGE participants to construct their path at UA. These leaders have a primary role of connecting participants to the UA student experience and facilitating activities and dialogue among participants during the program. The BRIDGE Builders offer their personal insight into what it means to be a student at UA, live by the Capstone Creed, and serve as a role model for BRIDGE participants.

Meet the 2019 BRIDGE Builders! These student leaders will serve as a resource and mentor to all BRIDGE participants.
