Twenty two Puentistas completed the 海角社区Puente Program project successfully in Spring 2019 and received their Puente Program Certificates of Completion at the End of the Year Banquet on May 21.

海角社区Puente Program is a transfer program that provides students with support in their transfer-level English courses, offers academic counseling, and sets up their academic mentoring for them to ensure success throughout the year in Puente and through transfer.

Some of the highlights this year included 海角社区Puente students participating in the fall semester in Puente Southern California Motivational Conference that was hosted at the University of California, Riverside.

Puente students also participated in the fall Puente Noche de la Familia event, where students, their families, and their educational supporters came to 海角社区to learn more about LBCC鈥檚 academic transfer program and learned how to support their Puentista throughout the year in the Puente Program.

Puente students also visited UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, and UC Berkeley in the Spring, before celebrating their success at the End of the Year Banquet.
