Fitchburg State University's Upward Bound Summer Program Staff enjoyed getting to know each other this morning with some icebreaker activities conducted by Vice President for Student Affairs Laura Bayless and Dean for Student Development Hank Parkinson.
Upward Bound provides academic support through tutoring services, educational and college preparatory workshops, and cultural field trips stressing academic development, The program serves high school students from Fitchburg and Leominster for the duration of their high school career and beyond. The 6-week summer residential program gives students an opportunity to live on the Fitchburg State University campus and experience life as a college student. Students attend academic classes in the morning, participate in community service worksites in the afternoon, are engaged in a variety of entertaining workshops in the evening and have the option of attending college visits and cultural trips on the weekend.
