Upward Bound 50th Anniversary Symposium

50 years ago, the Upward Bound program began under President Johnson’s “War on Poverty” legislation and has helped millions of Americans enter and graduate from college. Boston University has an Upward Bound program that is celebrating its 25th year. On November 8 hundreds of Upward Bound program alumni, elected officials, business leaders, educational opportunity program staff, and college presidents and administrators will convene in Boston to recognize the impact of Upward Bound and consider ways to extend the universal need of higher education equal opportunity. Registration will begin in early October
