Building Bridges
"Building Education Bridges” is the middle school/high school component of Project Aspire. The goals of “Building Education Bridges” are to enhance the college-readiness of talented but underserved middle and high school students, and to encourage those students to explore careers in health professions. “Bridges” connects schools and their communities to Touro College undergraduate programs, and the Division of Graduate Studies (School of Health Sciences, School of Education, School of Psychology), and the Touro Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and Pharmacy. The committee includes public school administrators and key faculty, leadership of Touro College programs as well as political and community leaders.
