This research explored the concepts of Sense of Belonging and Campus Cultural Capital among first-generation transfer students who were accepted to attend the EOP Transfer Bridge Program in 2018 and 2019. The methodology employed for this study was a transformative and mixed methods design that utilized the lens of Student Validation and Critical Race Theory. Sense of Belonging and Campus Cultural Capital were measured through the use of pre and post tests. The quantitative data was supplemented by semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated that Transfer Bridge was successful in enhancing the student's connectivity with the university and were able to identify the services available to them for their continued academic success. Recommendations are to ensure the program continues to have the necessary programmatic structures in place to continue to validate student success but to also use the student voices to guide the direction of the program as they are central to the mission of any university who needs to prepare for what lies ahead.
