Students participate in CLC’s Upward Bound academy

About three-dozen Central Lakes College Upward Bound students, staff and alumni attended the semi-monthly Saturday Academy April 16 at the college’s Staples campus.

Students –from Long Prairie, Browerville, Staples-Motley, Pierz, Onamia, Isle, and Nay Ah Shing – participated in educational activities throughout the day.

Activities included:

• A scavenger hunt throughout the campus, which allowed the students to identify different departments throughout the college and how they would utilize each one.
• Game show-themed activities to test knowledge about the services at the college that would help them succeed.
• Four TRIO alumni spoke about their experiences in both Upward Bound and in college.
