Bridge and Bond

Crowd of people talking to each other in large room inside Founder's College.

Bridge and Bond is a Founder’s College initiative that bridges connections between Butler students and professionals who can help guide their path. Whether it’s mentorship, networking, or real‑world insights, Bridge and Bond helps students take meaningful steps toward their futures—one connection at a time.

Because when we build the bridge, we strengthen the bond.

Friends of Founder’s College (faculty, staff, alumni, retirees, or fellow students) are paired with Founder’s College students. Together, they bridge experiences and bond by meeting at least three times per semester, both in person and online, to share insights, guidance, and support.

Attend Bridge and Bond events to connect, network, and grow.
