What is Launch 2 College?
Launch 2 College is a summer bridge program that will prepare you to start at Olympic College in Fall. You will have a chance to get to know other students before the start of the quarter and be involved in fun college activities before your first classes begin. You will also get a head start on using OC’s educational software, learning OC’s campus resources, and getting to know OC staff, faculty, and peer mentors. You will also get personal support from the Launch 2 College Program Specialist and the Launch 2 College Peer Mentors from the day you sign up through your entire first year of college. These staff can help you through your application and registration and will help you stay on track and get connected to support when you need it all year.
When is Launch 2 College?
To be determined (One Launch 2 College cohort is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 17, 2026-Aug. 28, 2026, 9am-2pm, a second cohort schedule is pending.)
