AB  - This paper shares the evolution of a summer bridge program designed to support National Science Foundation S-STEM scholarship students as they transition to college. Summer bridge programs provide opportunities for students to get acclimated to college, learn about campus resources, and connect with peers before the school year begins. Cohort development has been shown to positively impact student retention, especially during the first year of college, and has been a central component of many S-STEM programs. The authors chronicle the evolution of a summer bridge program over the span of 4 years as it was adapted to better meet program goals related to student retention and development of sense of belonging. Programmatic adaptations were based on insights gained from the experience of both students and instructors. Data gathered through the evaluation and a mixed methods study was used to inform the changes. In the early years, the bridge program focused on an intensive math review with the goal of preparing them for their first quarter of calculus. This approach left little time for students to connect socially, explore campus, or participate in any hands-on projects or activities.  In its final form, the bridge program combines positive attributes of its former iterations and successfully balances preparing students for college socially and academically. Through hands-on maker projects, tours of campus and department labs, math review, and opportunities to connect socially, the updated bridge program seeks to better support the S-STEM scholars during their transition to college.
