Upward Bound at the University of Washington
Upward Bound (UB) is a federally-funded program that assists students in their pursuit of a high school diploma and prepares them to enter and complete a post-secondary education program. Housed in the Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity, UW’s program is one of over 826 Upward Bound programs in the United States.
Who We Serve:
UW Upward Bound serves qualified students at Seattle’s Franklin, Chief Sealth International and Cleveland High Schools; and students from Kent-Meridian High School who are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and/or will be the first in their family to complete a four-year college degree.
Summer Academy:
Each summer, Upward Bound students spend six weeks on the UW campus to experience the academic and social atmosphere of a major university. Students receive instruction in UW classrooms and enroll in language arts, math, foreign language, science and elective classes.
Elective Course for Summer Academy:
Multi-Genre Creative Writing:
Ms. Miranda contact: mirang3@uw.edu
Led and compiled by full-time Writing Instructor Ms. Miranda this is a creative writing class with a twist. In this class students can express themselves by choosing their own genre and style of writing. Working with a theme such as "We Are All in This Together" students will attend workshops where they learn how to write poems, recipes, letters, advice columns, critique a piece of art or song, write a film review, etc.
The best part is the students will choose which genre(s) they want to write. Ultimately, all student work will be presented to the community at large via a website or other publishing tools for students that want their work to be shared and celebrated with others.
