Lobo Academy :: UNM Gallup | The University of New Mexico

What is Lobo Academy?

A summer bridge program to help students get a jump start to college! This is a fast-paced and dynamic summer bridge program that helps newly admitted college students make that transition to college life. While in Lobo Academy, students will work toward improving their placement levels in Math and English while also gaining a college credit by enrolling in a 3 credit class called FYEX 1110. We work with students to build up their skills for college success and provide knowledge about campus resources while helping them feel at home in our TRIO/ Student Support Services program on the UNM Gallup campus.

Lobo Academy is an in-person, six (6) week program and will offer a mix of academic and social activities to build a strong academic foundation.
