Why We're HereThe College Bridge was developed in response to the current issues plaguing our nation’s public K-12 and higher education institutions. One problem in particular, the fact that 60% of our nation’s high school graduates are not prepared for college-level coursework, is central to The College Bridge’s efforts. This problem, paired with the deep fiscal cuts to California’s public education system and the negative impact these cuts are having on addressing our students’ needs, inspired The College Bridge. With the deepest gratitude, I would like to publicly thank the people who have been most instrumental in this venture. First, I would like to thank Professor Pat McDonough who challenged our cohort to DO something to improve students' access to college. I’m incredibly thankful for every professor and colleague in my doctoral program (UCLA’s Educational Leadership Program – Amazing Cohort 18!) for their knowledge, support, and advice. I am in awe of the fine and passionate educators who serve as The College Bridge’s Faculty and Curriculum Developers. And I am most appreciative of my co-founders - my husband and partner, Pedro, and my father, Michael Staubly, for their personal support and professional collaboration. Sincerely, The Problem:

The College Bridge was founded to help close the gap between the supply and demand for college-educated workers by strategically preparing students to be accepted into and graduate from college. Middle and high school students will develop a strategic plan to map out the most effective path to reach their academic goals. Current college students are coached academically and counseled to select a major leading to a rewarding career and graduate in the least amount of time. The College Bridge:
