From August 1 to August 16, Tiffin University will host the Dragon Prep Summer Bridge Program, designed for already-admitted incoming first-year students, who may require academic coaching to succeed at the college level. The curriculum provides workshops, classes and activities that teach about campus technology, services and basic postsecondary academic skills such as math, reading and writing.
Thanks to a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), awarded by the State Library of Ohio, Tiffin University has acquired a total of $1,999, which will be used in support of this year’s Dragon Prep initiative.
Dragon Prep includes lodging, food and other accommodations – and is free to all eligible TU students. Those eligible must have a high school GPA of 2.25 or below and/or qualify for TU’s developmental math, English and reading courses based on prior standardized test scores.
“This is truly a wonderful opportunity for us to serve those in need of a little additional support, so that they can enter their college years truly prepared to succeed alongside their classmates,” said Dr. Peter J. Holbrook, Provost and Chief Academic Officer. “We hope that through this initiative, admitted students will gain the confidence and skillsets necessary to become the best versions of themselves. We have every confidence that through Dragon Prep, they will enter the fall semester well equipped to contribute meaningfully to our community.”
