BRiDGES, or the Madison County Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, Inc. (MCCASA), started in 1985 in Oneida, NY, to tackle the rising issues of alcohol and drug use among adolescents.

For 10 weeks this summer I had the amazing opportunity to work with the Young Scholars Liberty Partnership Program researching the impact of internship experiences on high school students and recent high school graduates. The Young Scholars Liberty Partnership Program was founded in 1993 through a collaborative effort between Utica University and the Utica City School District. The program was created to address the low graduation rates and encourage students to pursue higher education.September 10, 2024
