Boston University Upward Bound Day in the City of Boston

On April 10, Boston University Upward Bound, a federally funded TRIO program providing outreach and student services to low-income and first-generation college students from Boston Public Schools, celebrated its 30th anniversary with a virtual symposium. Former Upward Bound student William Onuoha, executive director of Boston’s Office of Fair Housing and Equity, read a proclamation from Boston Mayor Kim Janey declaring April 10 Upward Bound Day. The proclamation recognizes “30 years of collective work of helping students access educational opportunity and celebrate being part of this family,” says Upward Bound director Reggie Jean (CAS’95, Wheelock’04) (holding proclamation).
