Puente Program
Puente Program
The Puente Program at Cypress College is a nationally recognized learning community designed to increase the number of educationally underrepresented students who enroll in four-year colleges and universities, earn degrees, and return as leaders in their communities.
Puente (which means “bridge” in Spanish) helps students build a strong academic foundation through supportive counseling, mentoring, and writing instruction that is culturally relevant and inspiring. Students create lasting connections with peers and faculty while gaining the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Services include:
· One-on-one academic and personal counseling
· Mentoring from professionals in the community
· University campus tours and cultural activities
· Leadership and community engagement opportunities
· A supportive, familia-style learning environment
