Puente Project (LA-222)
The University of California (UC) Puente Project is a national award winning program that helps tens of thousands of educationally disadvantaged students who transfer to four-year colleges and universities, earn degrees, and return to the community as leaders and mentors for future generations. UC Puente has been at SBVC since 1984 and is a successful statewide transfer program sponsored by the University of California and the California Community Colleges.
Puente consists of three components: Writing, Counseling, and Mentoring. Students take two consecutive writing classes: English 101, English 087 (Fall) and English 102 (Spring). Students build confidence in their writing skills through an exploration of Mexican-American and Latina/o literature. The English classes are linked with two consecutive Student Development classes: Student Development 015 (fall) and Student Development 102 (Spring). Puente is open to all students. For more information on this program, contact the Puente Office at (909) 384-8255.
