October 7, 2026

For six weeks before the fall semester begins, incoming students get an early start on life at Carolina through UNC-Chapel Hill’s Shroff Summer Bridge Program.

Through classes, peer mentorship, tutoring and plenty of time spent building community, students get the chance to find their footing, build confidence and form relationships that carry into their first year and beyond.

In this video, hear from Summer Bridge students, mentors and tutors about finding their people, navigating college together and what it means to have a community at Carolina from day one.
