Roll out the red carpet—Upward Bound just went Hollywood! For their final Thursday meeting, our Upward Bound program completely switched things up by hosting an exclusive red carpet screening of the documentary, "Beyond the Athlete". The film shines a spotlight on the dedication and stories of three phenomenal Fitchburg State student-athletes: Matthew Drayton 🏀, Elijah Zaire "EZ" McKnight 🏈, Samantha Wozniak 📣. Following the screening, the crowd got a behind-the-scenes look with an exclusive panel discussion. Director Skye Goba '26, Co-Producer Cassie Israelson '26, current graduate student/former UB staff Elijah Zaire "EZ" McKnight, and Samantha Wozniak '26 answered questions about the filmmaking process and share what it’s really like to be a Falcon!
