Upward Bound: “Like a GPS for students” This year, 103 high schoolers are in the Upward Bound program, attended by about three dozen staff and volunteers, including teachers for their math, science, literature, writing, and foreign language classes. About half of the tutors are BU students. Additionally, four Wheelock College of Education & Human Development science fellows are doing their prepracticum in Zoom classrooms. “One goal of the summer program is to give students that residential experience, so when they go off to college, it’s not a foreign experience to them,” Reggie Jean says. “They’ve not only heard about ways to navigate it, they’ve experienced it. They’ve had to get up on their own and walk to classes.” Altogether, it can mean big growth for students.
