Bridge to College Orientation is in session in Madison and Burlington!
During this time, all first year students move in and begin their ramp up to the start of classes. This allows students to begin getting their feet under them in a manageable way, including:
- Getting to know fellow students
- Taking a Mansfield Hall created "college orientation class"
- Exploring their new cities with a scavenger hunt
- Taking a cooking seminar to explore different kitchen skills
- So. Much. More.
Students, what is or was your favorite part of Bridge?
A diagnosis doesn’t automatically unlock support.
It helps you understand yourself—but the next step is building what actually works for you.
That’s where growth happens; and where we come in.

Independence in college doesn’t mean doing everything on your own.
It means knowing when to step up—and when to reach out.
That’s a skill. And it can be learned.

Summer is here and we couldn`t be happier taking it all in!

Madison students have been engaging in a career spotlight series these last few weeks. This week, students and staff visited Raven Software in Middleton to get a behind-the-scenes look at the broad scope of professions required to create and maintain video games.
The group was led through an interactive tour highlighting the expanding motion capture studio, audio production team at work, and even received some Raven Swag. We wrapped up with presentations and a Q&A with team members representing the engineering, animation, and production departments.
Highlights Include:
- Students asked insightful questions throughout the presentation
- Several students did some wild in-the-moment animation!
- Seeing a free fall in action in the Mocap studio
Thanks for having us @ravensoftware!
