What is the UB Summer Academy?

Each summer, Upward Bound students are required to participate in the residential UB Summer Academy. Students stay on USM’s Gorham campus with a UB roommate, are supervised by Upward Bound staff, eat in the dining hall, take academic or college preparatory courses, and learn first-hand about college life. Summer activities also include college and career exploration, cultural and recreational activities, leadership skills building, and community service.
