Hammer Year - Expanding My Horizons

Expand your horizons, Hammers. This, your bridge year, will help you connect what you have been doing the past two years to what you will be doing the rest of your life. After this summer, you can do anything. Think of college as the wilderness you’ve just conquered and take it on with the same, sometimes frightened,  challenge-ready, perspective you brought home with you on the plane.
