Angel Hope poses at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison, Wis., July 27, 2022. He was there for an intense six-week summer bridge program for students of color and first-generation students at the university. Hundreds of thousands of recent graduates are heading to college this fall after spending more than half their high school careers dealing with the upheaval of a pandemic. Hope says he didn't feel ready for college after online classes in high school caused him to fall behind but says the bridge classes made him feel more confident.
