On Sunday, June 16, twenty Upward Bound students moved into dorms at Clemson's campus as part of our free, 6-week Summer Component program. During the program, the students will be attending math, english, science, and spanish classes taught by Upward Bound instructors on Tri-County Tech's Pendleton campus. They will also participate in college tours and cultural enrichment activities that include culinary arts, web design, oil painting, and zumba. The purpose of the Summer Component is to prepare our students for the upcoming academic year as well as introduce them to what life is like on a college campus. We are proud of these 20 students who were chosen for the summer program based on their Upward Bound attendance and participation, grades, and an essay. We are also excited about being able to provide them with this opportunity and are looking forward to an amazing summer!
