55th Anniversary Celebration

On February 1, 2020, over 170 UB alumni, students, friends, and former and current staff came together to celebrate the Legacy of ɫ����Ƶ Upward Bound. During the program, the ɫ����Ƶ UB Advocate Medallion was presented to Dr. Marguerite ArchieHudson, founding Director, and Dennis Collins, former Dean of Students and ɫ����Ƶ Trustee, who helped bring the program to ɫ����Ƶ.

It was a great opportunity for alumni to come back to ɫ����Ƶ to rekindle old friendships, share stories, and see how much the program has grown in 55 years. Current ɫ����Ƶ UB students were also in attendance and the opportunity to sharpen their business etiquette and networking skills.

Overall the event was a great opportunity to reconnect and celebrate the success of ɫ����Ƶ Upward Bound and the students they have served. TRIO WORKS!
