Shorelight’s personalized programs will support the recruitment, retention and success of international students at BC, as well as elevate the global presence of the college. While at BC, the student-centered support will continue through orientation sessions specifically for international students, academic advising and guidance on immigration and visa status.

Bridgewater College will welcome its first program cohort in fall of 2023.
