A community reaps well-documented economic benefits when located near a college or university. But perhaps just as important is the cultural impact. The Bridges and Pathways College Alliance facilitates a shared cultural series that will multiply that impact, providing entertainment and learning opportunities for all ages.
Students, faculty, staff and community members from the Bridges and Pathways College Alliance read a book and come together for discussions and events on the various campuses.
