Warriors in the Community, episode 8: Upward Bound
Associate professor Sandra M. Gonzales, Ed.D., joins us for our eighth episode to discuss the College of Education’s venerated Upward Bound Program, a federally funded initiative hosted by Wayne State University that provides instruction, tutoring, academic and career guidance, counseling and residential life to high school students recruited in the 9th, 10th and 11th grades. These students are potential first-generation, college-bound students who attend designated Detroit Community District Public Schools. Upward Bound targets students who would like to go to college but may have difficulty attending due to academic need, lack of financial aid or inadequate high school preparation.
