Bridge Peer Mentor, Wendy O. at the SETGO Summer Research Roundup on July 23rd. She presented a poster to showcase a few of the activities and courses in the Bridge with some of the pictures from above. This helped SETGO participants at BGSU who were not in the Bridge understand what what role it plays in the program. (Special thanks to Wendy for taking a great number of the photos used from this year's Bridge.)
