Every year we at Upward Bound take our students on a college tour outside of Rochester to explore opportunities in higher education, to learn more about what college life can be like, and to see some of the opportunities available. This year, we took the students to Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Howard University in Washington DC, and Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia.
In addition to the colleges we visited, we took a tour of Historic Pennsylvania, including the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the Constitution Center. In Washington DC, we had the opportunity to visit the Capitol Building and sit inside the House of Representatives, the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History, Arlington Cemetery, and other historic sites and monuments around the city.
