forincreasing student success (Olivia Palid, 2023).Figure 1. 2022 Summer Bridge Site DetailFoundational MathDevelopmental math students face many barriers to achievement of STEM degrees and careers,including a fear of, and low confidence in, math, as well as a lack of successful touchstoneexperiences in the subject. Many students report having felt disenfranchised with their mathcourses since middle school. And, while community colleges have done much to address thesystemic barrier of developmental, non-college credit math courses, academic preparation remainsan issue. Community college math faculty teaching the calculus sequence often point to students’lack of understanding and mastery of algebra basics as a significant barrier to their progression

], and construction of a community or supportsystem [7][5][12].A common theme amongst many transfer programs is that they allow students to participate inundergraduate research experiences. It can allow students to build connections with peers andnetwork with faculty or other researchers, as well as provide them with the experience of puttingtheir skills to work in the laboratory setting [1][5]. In some instances, the participation ofundergraduate students in research projects leads to a higher percentage of graduating studentsthan those who did not participate [11].Feeling connected and building a community is also a common finding among the programs.Transfer students may feel particularly alone as they begin their new programs [10
