"Southeast's Upward Bound Program Enjoys
High school students from Harlan and Bell counties enrolled in the Upward
Bound Program at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College
recently concluded a five-week summer academic and cultural enrichment
program.
The five-week session was held on the Cumberland campus and attracted
approximately 60 students.
The Upward Bound Program at Southeast Kentucky Community and
Technical College has been in existence since 1966, making it one of the most
successful and oldest federally-funded programs of its kind in the United States.
Students received classroom instruction during the day and were treated to an
assortment of cultural and recreational events during their leisure hours.
Students were housed at the historic Benham School House Inn.
Carolyn Sundy heads the program at Southeast; providing support to the
curriculum at Southeast are Brandon Howard, Andrea Massey, Pat Baker and
Michelle Ashby-Dykes.
At the close of the summer session students and staff took a cultural
enhancement trip to Atlanta and Savannah, Ga.
