Upward Bound program stimulates students’ desire to succeed
Summer for teenagers usu
ally includes trips to the local
pool and hanging out at the
mall or movie theater. Howev

much of the summer will be

Trips out of county
reduced by COLCO
C O LC O T ra n s p o rta tio n
Manager Shelly Clauser has
informed Vernonia COLCO
that they will be limited to just
one out-of-county trip each
week, between 9:00 a.m. and
3:00 p.m. on Mondays.
The cut back is effective Au
gust 2nd.
Vernonia COLCO has been
scheduling two out-of-county
trips per week so local resi
dents can make appointments
or take care of other business
in Washington and Multnomah
Counties.
Clauser said she regrets the
inconvenience, but expenses
must be reduced if COLCO is
to remain in business.
lege life through the Upward
Bound program.
Started at Pacific University
in 1966, Upward Bound offers
students individual tutoring and
counseling in addition to acad-
mic coursework. To qualify for
the program, the high school
students must be the first in
their family to pursue a four-
year college degree or low in
come. The goal, according to
Director Bobbi Nickels, is to
help the students improve their
academic and social skills in
preparation for college. “A lot of
these are students who might
drop out of high school or not
go on to college without this
help,” she said. Approximately
92-percent of seniors who at
tend Upward Bound pursue a
post-secondary
education,
something many of them did
not consider a priority until Up
ward Bound.
“Upward Bound taught me
some good study skills and
motivated me to do things I
never thought I could do,” said
John Bushard of Portland, who
has spent four summers in the
program.
During the six-week pro
gram that runs through August
6, the students live at Pacific
University and experience sev
eral aspects of college life in
cluding attending classes and
living in dorms. Academic sub-
jects covered are math, read-
ing/literature, English composi
tion, foreign language and sci
ence. Upward Bound coun
selors and teaching staff live in
the residence halls with the
students and serve as aca
demic tutors and role models in
addition to leading the students
in social and cultural activities.
“I took classes that have put
me ahead,” said Jake McMillan
who wrtl attend Pacific Univer
sity in the fall after three sum
mers in Upward Bound. “I hope
it will help keep me ahead in
college as well.”
