Five Onondaga Community College students took advantage of an opportunity to explore an summer learning opportunity. On April 19 they visited SUNY Binghamton where they will spend most of the summer participating in the Bridges to Baccalaureate program. The 8-week paid summer science research experience helps underrepresented students transition from community colleges to a four-year institution.
This summer's participants from OCC are:
