The Upward Bound program recently went on a college road trip to Pittsburgh, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. During the trip, students had the opportunity to tour several colleges, including HBCUs such as Howard University and many more. In addition to exploring campuses, students experienced cultural and historical highlights, including visiting the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, touring monuments in Washington, D.C., and exploring Times Square in New York City. This trip gave students the chance to learn more about higher education opportunities while also immersing themselves in history and culture.

REMINDER: The first day of the Upward Bound Summer Program starts on Monday, June 16th! Can't wait to see all of you!
