After spending her K–12 years with an individualized education program, or IEP, Angelina Sambuco wasn’t sure how she would access similar support when she arrived at Brooklyn College three years ago.

For years, Sambuco had accommodations built into her school days, and she worried about how she’d fare when college started. But before her freshman year began, a coach from the City University of New York’s College Bridge for All program helped ease that uncertainty, checking in regularly and connecting her with the college’s disability services office.

“The adjustment from high school to college was a really big jump,” Sambuco said. “I always benefited from prompting and getting someone to support me when I had questions and to make sure I had the services that I needed. It was a really nice bridge during that transition and helped me manage the stress.”
