ATLANTA -- Georgia State freshman and transfer student-athletes enrolled this summer are getting a head start both on the playing field and in life, thanks to the Summer Bridge Program.
Summer Bridge is a nine-week, new student-athlete orientation that aids in bridging the gap between high school and college. It is an introduction to a new life chapter in academics, athletics and lifestyle.
The program is conducted by Assistant Athletic Director for Life Skills and Career Development Michael Stovall and the Student-Athlete Development staff, and it helps ensure that each student-athlete has a four-year graduation plan as well as a game plan for life skills, leadership training and career development.
