Upward Bound

It's time to start working on our Annual Performance Report (APR) and I need to hear from UB graduates! Our statistics on participants' enrollment in, persistence at and graduation from college will count heavily in deciding whether or not UB will continue past 2012!

Please complete the graduate survey at the UB web site. If you were in school but had to stop out because of money, grade, personal issues or whatever, please contact us! We can help you survey your options so you can get back on the college track!

If you've graduated recently, please email Cathy so we can share your great news with the rest of our UB family!

Our APR will probably be due in November or December, so NOW'S THE TIME to let us know how you are doing!

Thanks in advance for your help!
