Kassandra Avila and Emily Nguyen sit down with Finlandia Friday’s host, Michael H. Babcock and hit on everything softball. Avila and Nguyen are both freshmen at Finlandia University and come from the Southern California area.

Both Avila and Nguyen touch on their experience at Finlandia University as freshmen. Living in the dorms allowed them to get to know everyone better and find the campus to be a tight knit community. “If there is ever a need for something it is almost always just two doors down,” said Nguyen.

This week Finlandia Fridays speaks with Director of Academic Success and Student Life Erin Barnett as they dive into the Summer Bridge Program offered here at Finlandia University. The Sumer Bridge Program allows incoming students to earn up to six credits before the fall semester starts, focusing on English, Communications and "Sisu." "Taking these classes early gives you a strong foundation heading into the fall semester," said Barnett.

This program is focused on education and communication but also entails some extracurricular activities. The program offers a rafting trip in Iron Mountain, Michigan and even the possibility of a biking trip to explore the Keweenaw. These activities allow the students to become more acquainted with the community but also build lasting friendships among each other.

Shownotes available at finlandia.edu/fridays. More on the Summer Bridge Program is available at finlandia.edu/summer.

For this week’s guest Keith Arnold, Finlandia University was all about opportunity. Opportunities such as campus leadership with Student Senate and Black Student Union, athletics with the university’s NCAA Division III basketball team and eventually he came back for the opportunity to advance his career as an admissions officer.
