Student Life and Involvement

During their freshman year, Bridge students are enrolled full time at Tri-County Technical College (Tri-County), granting them access to all Tri-County academic success services and student life opportunities. These opportunities include joining student organizations and participating in scheduled student activities. Bridge students also have access to many of the events and activities at Clemson, as well as the ability to be involved with student organizations and intramural sports.

Tiger Transitions Mentorship Program
Tiger Transitions Mentorship Program is a peer mentoring program that connects current Bridge to Clemson students with previous Bridge to Clemson students to support them in their transition to Clemson. Former Bridge to Clemson students will serve as Peer Mentors to assist current Bridge to Clemson students (mentees) during the student’s spring semester at Tri-County Technical College. Mentors offer opportunities for social interaction, strategies for academic success and assist mentees in successfully transitioning to Clemson. If you have questions about how to get involved, contact Tiger Transitions via email.

Additional services and involvement opportunities available through Clemson include:
