Welcome to the CMI CORE Summer Bridge Initiative!

We are very pleased that you have chosen to attend Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan!  We are sure that you will experience great intellectual and personal development as you work toward graduation. The Summer Bridge Initiative is an on-campus experience that allows registered freshmen students to experience Oakland University.  Through structured and integrated activities, students will be prepared to meet the demands of college and bridge the gap between high school and college.

As a new Oakland University student the Center for Multicultural Initiatives (CMI) is offering a week of academic enrichment and growth for free! One of the many programs created for your academic excellence as a first-year student is the OU CMI CORE Summer Bridge Initiative. If you participate in the CMI CORE Summer Bridge Initiative, you will live on campus for one week, develop a higher level of academic skills and abilities, and meet many new friends all at no monetary cost to you. Summer Bridge Initiative will challenge you, and attending will give you more confidence, provide you with knowledge about the campus, and help you feel at home at OU.

Many of the friendships you make through the OU CMI CORE Summer Bridge Initiative will last throughout your college years and beyond. You will find that being a part of the OU family is an extremely rewarding experience that can seldom be duplicated! I look forward to seeing you this summer!

Sincerely,


CORE Program Coordinator
