Prospective students must be willing to make a commitment to support and attend the many additional activities and events sponsored by the program. Orientation Sessions Information orientation sessions will be held in the spring for the Fall 2000 program. During the orientation sessions, students will get an overview of the program and will have the opportunity to meet a mentor, talk with former Puente students, ask any questions they may have, and learn the details of the registration and assessment process. All students who are interested in the program must attend one of these orientation sessions to understand the full extent of the Puente Program commitment. Puente openings occur only once a year in the Fall semester, and the class is limited to 30 students.
Students are admitted on a first come, first serve basis as they qualify by placement for the class.
