Upward Bound Celebrates Its End of the Year Banquet!


Upward Bound celebrated its end of year banquet on Wednesday, May 9 at The Diplomat on Lyell Avenue. The program was proud to reward its students with a celebration of their hard work this school year. The banquet was complete with a presentation on “Success” by Upward Bound Alumni, Edward Valle ’05.  Valle graduated from School of the Arts in 2005 and went on to RIT majoring in Packaging Science. The students, staff and family members enjoyed listening to Valle’s experience with success and his advice for those in the audience. The program was proud to recognize The Student of the Year, Montre Bradley, and present The Resiliency Award to Ryan Russell. The program also took time to award Outstanding Freshman to Ashley Feliciano, Outstanding Sophomore to Shayla Burns, and Outstanding Junior to Zipporah Ross. These students have worked hard and brought pride to MCC’s Upward Bound Program. The program was also happy to have representatives from Rochester AmeriCorps, Hillside’s Work Scholarship Connection, MCC Administrative Staff, and MCC Deans. With the closing of this school year, MCC Upward Bound looks forward to opening our summer program and cheering on our seniors as they cross the stage and receive their diplomas next month.
