CEHD Summer Bridge Team Wins 2024 Team Impact Awards
At the 2024 Presidential Excellence Awards reception on April 18, the College of Education and Human Development Summer Bridge Team was recognized for their teamwork in orchestrating the college's C4 and Health and Sport Science Summer Bridge Programs. The team was comprised of members of CEHD's Elementary, Middle, and Secondary Teacher Education (EMSTEd) and Health and Sports Science (HSS) programs: Penny Howell, Kate Marin, Megan Shreffler, Katie Harman, Gin Presley, Greta Cesarz, and Mike Jett.
“Two Summer Bridge teams, led by faculty members Drs. Howell and Marin (EMSTEd) and Drs. Shreffler and Harman (HSS) have truly made an impact in the lives of students, faculty and staff. The programming for Summer Bridge focuses on strategies for academic success, social and community connections, and overall well-being (emotional, health, mental). These are essential components for students to thrive in a college environment. The directors, Drs. Howell, Marin, Shreffler, and Harman, invited many faculty and staff to participate in the programming; thereby demonstrating for students the breadth of resources and support available as they transition into college. Data from these two summer bridge programs highlight positive student retention rates and positive experiences in “feeling connected” to the University of Louisville community. Through their excellent leadership, programming efforts, and dedication to student success and retention, Drs Howell, Marin, Shreffler, and Harman are most deserving of the Team Impact Award.”
