EOU Title III Grant: Building Roadmaps in Development of Guided Experiences for Students (BRIDGES)

The overall goal of the Title III Strengthening Institutions grant program is to help institutions become self-sufficient and expand their capacity to serve low-income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability of eligible institutions.
(Adapted from Title III, Part A Program Description)

The Eastern Oregon University’s Title III BRIDGES goals are: 

Goal 1:  Academic Program 

  1. Improve student persistence and graduation rates for first-time, full-time degree-seeking students by redesigning advising; co-remediating in math and writing; providing first year experience, experiential learning opportunities, and a sense of belonging; 
  2. Improve student persistence rates for first-time, part-time degree-seeking students by redesigning advising; co-remediating in math and writing; providing first year experience, experiential learning opportunities, and a sense of belonging; and 
  3. Improve student engagement by systematically assessing learning supports associated with the Title III program. 

Goal 2: Institutional Management

  1. Improve student career readiness as part of their educational programs through experiential learning opportunities; and b) strengthen technology infrastructure to support curriculum development and students seeking experiential learning opportunities. 

Goal 3: Fiscal Stability

  1. Improve fiscal stability by recapturing student FTE through increased retention of first-year students to the second year and by ensuring completion of goals and/or graduation.
