Abstract

Bridge programs are an effective way to ready students for the transition from undergraduate to graduate study in physics. A panel of representatives from several bridge programs will describe the unique framework and key objectives of their programs, as well as share strategies for working with their unique student population. Speakers include Jay Gupta of the APS Bridge Program at Ohio State University, Kelly Holley-Bocklemann of the Fisk-Vanderbilt Master-to-PhD Bridge Program, \c{C}agliyan Kurdak of the University of Michigan Applied Physics Imes-Moore Fellows Program, and Alex Rudolph of the Cal Poly Pomona Cal-Bridge Program.
