Upward and Outward

If you have ever doubted the extensions that could exist beyond the immediate lessons of the Upward Bound program, look further!

Just today, the information that we have received regarding the population rise in Germany following the Holocaust, the changes occurring iat a higher level with the Naval Academy, as well as continued information/research that exists on Harriet Tubman, are a few news worthy followups to severa research-based excursions on the part of Upward Bound. What extensions of information will exist from today’s visit to the visit to the University of Pennsylvania today?

A focus on a new Superintendent at the Naval Academy as well as the Naval Academy’s Library has been interesting to see changes occurring due to a new administration.

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent focus on the U.S. Naval Academy has largely been limited to the institution’s on-campus library, and his desire to remove hundreds of books that the administration considers politically unacceptable.”
