Function of the Unit

The overall plan of SDSU's Building Bridges between Community and Careers: A New Type of HSI (here on referred to Building Bridges) is a project whose aim is to position SDSU Imperial Valley (SDSU-IV) campus to be instrumental in addressing the community and regional workforce needs by facilitating pathways through San Diego State University (SDSU) to successful careers in Nursing, Public Health, and STEM education. The overall goal is to increase the number of students who enter careers that meet the region's workforce needs by earning globally competitive degrees in Healthcare and STEM education. The proposed program aims to achieve this goal by leveraging the regional unique cultural wealth of a bordertown (US-Mexico and CA-AZ) student population, to facilitate greater educational access with an approach that is culturally and linguistically affirming.

This program will strengthen and build capacity in the institution's ability to facilitate careers in Healthcare and STEM by adapting and implementing high-quality evidence-based practices and professional and workforce development activities that include: 1) outreach and recruitment, 2) undergraduate research experiences (UREs), 3) enrichment activities (i.e., workshops, panels, information sessions, and skills development), 4) culturally affirming wrap-around student support, and 5) multi-dimensional mentoring approaches.

All of the project activities and services are grounded in research and best practices for improving student engagement, persistence, retention, and graduation.
