Palm Beach State College

Palm Beach State College proudly welcomed more than 200 students to the Lake Worth campus today for the start of the NextGen Summer Bridge Program, which runs through June 18.

Students had the opportunity to hear firsthand about the college experience during an alumni panel led by Destiny Keen, associate dean of academic readiness and retention. Alumni shared insights, advice and personal stories to help students prepare for their transition to college.

Designed for high school graduates and first-generation students, the two-week program helps participants build confidence, connect with campus resources and develop the skills needed for success in higher education.
