📸 Then & Now: Math Bridge Growth Through the Years! 📸

Below is a throwback photo from our very first Math Bridge cohort alongside a photo from Cohort #2. Looking back reminds us just how far we've come!

What started with a single cohort of students has grown into a movement that has more than doubled in size and helped over 1,000 alumni successfully complete a college-level math course and satisfy their general education math requirement at all California Community Colleges and California State Universities. 🎓➕📚

Every student represents a story of perseverance, opportunity, and a brighter future. We couldn't be prouder of the impact our students, instructors, and partners have made across California.

🎉 Congratulations to our Math Bridge class at Dos Palos High School! 🎉

We are proud to celebrate a 100% pass rate for the class overall, with 18 students moving on to their next chapter with their college math requirements already satisfied. 🙌📚

This achievement is especially exciting because it marks the first year of implementing Math Bridge at Dos Palos High School—and it was a huge success! Students thrived under the guidance of the incredible instructional team of high school teacher Gabriela Tovar and Merced College professor Kylie Freitas. 💙

Thank you both for creating such a supportive, welcoming, and inspiring learning environment for your students. We are so proud of this cohort and can't wait to see what they accomplish next! 🌟

Last week at Bridges Over the Valley: Strengthening the K–20 Math Pipeline at San Joaquin Delta College, we had the privilege of hearing from higher education leaders working to improve student success across the Central Valley. 🎓🌉

In this panel, Dr. Benjamín T. Durán, Executive Director of the Central Valley Higher Education Consortium, leads a powerful conversation with Jackie Schwegel, Professor of Mathematics at San Joaquin Delta College, on one of the most pressing challenges in higher ed: student retention and progression in college math.

Professor Schwegel shares insight into the real barriers students face and the importance of thoughtful pathways, support systems, and interventions to help them succeed.

💡 These are exactly the challenges the Math Bridge project is working to address.
