Students in UVI’s Upward Bound Program on the St. Croix campus gathered last week for this group photo. (Click the photo for a larger view.) The St. Croix component of the overall UVI program – see related photo post on July 15 – has enrolled 25 students who will be entering the ninth through 11th grades in the fall. As on St. Thomas, the federally funded, summer program provides St. Croix students with a taste of college life. They live in the campus residence hall, take college preparatory courses that focus on writing, math and science, and participate in a range of enrichment activities. Last week, the St. Croix students were featured on the TV2 news after they joined with other students in a leadership conference sponsored by Innovative Communication Corp. Michelle Albany-Crispin, the Upward Bound assistant director who oversees Upward Bound on St. Croix, said the students will conclude the 2010 program on Friday, July 30.
