University to Expand College Bridge Program
City University has announced that as of this summer it will increase the size of its College Bridge Program. The program helps prepare local high school students for university life by pairing them with current university students who will act as mentors. The program has grown in popularity among high school students in recent years, but not enough university students have signed up to be mentors to meet the growing demand. To help address this, university student mentors will now receive course credit to encourage them to participate in the program. "These student mentors receive valuable education experience, so awarding them course credit seems appropriate," said a spokesperson.

Woman: Oh, I'm glad they're doing this. It seems like a great program.
Man: Yeah, I've never been involved, but it does seem cool.
Woman: I haven't either. I actually grew up around here and really wanted to join when I was in high school, but I must not have sent in my registration quickly enough, because I got a letter saying the program was already full.
Man: That must have been disappointing.
Woman: Yeah, it was really a shame. Other classmates of mine who did manage to get in said they covered important stuff, like study skills, how to handle living on your own, how to look for part-time work during college. I didn't know any of that stuff when I first started, and I think it would have been a lot easier if I had.
Man: Yeah, I probably could have used that myself. Sounds like they'll need more university students, though.
Woman: Yeah, and I think what they're doing will be an incentive for more of us to sign up. I know some people who've wanted to do this but didn't feel like they had time because they had too many other classes. But this way they won't have to take as many classes while they're participating.
Man: That's true. Yeah? So it'll be easier to make the time to do it.
Woman: Yeah, exactly. And it's not a bad thing to have on your academic record.

The university plans to expand its College Bridge Program that pairs high school students with college mentors to prepare them for university life. However, due to insufficient mentor participation, the school will now offer course credit to encourage more college students to join.
The woman strongly supports this plan for two key reasons.
First, she shares a personal experience where she missed joining the program in high school due to limited capacity, while her peers who participated gained valuable skills like study techniques and independent living - knowledge she wishes she had when starting college.
Second, she believes the course credit incentive will effectively address the mentor shortage, as it reduces participants' academic workload while enhancing their records. She mentions knowing students who previously couldn't participate due to time constraints but now find this arrangement manageable.
