Puente Youth attend College Transfer Day

Puente students attended Canada college transfer day on  October 25th.

Our students  met with representatives from universities and four-year colleges to explore their educational options. It was a great opportunity to network and  gather information from the different colleges and universities. To compare programs of interest and to choose a college or university that suits thier educational goals.

This event is part of Puente’s growing commitment to encourage students to pursue a higher education at a college or university.
