Connections

All incoming first-year CHE participants are required to attend a three-day summer bridge program called CHE Connections. Transfer and continuing CHE participants are invited to join Connections, but it is optional.

As a CHE participant you become part of a caring community that will support your academic and personal growth from your first year at UNC  through graduation. Throughout your academic journey, you will encounter many challenges that CHE staff can assist you with.

It all starts with Summer Connections, highlights include:

  • Moving into dorms two days early at no additional cost
  • Attending informational workshops that enhance success
  • Getting to know the CHE professional and peer staff
  • Building relationships with other CHE students
  • Learning about campus resources
  • Getting individualized campus tours
  • Finding class locations (to avoid getting lost on day one)
  • Meeting campus partners and faculty
  • Having lots of fun!
