Best start to the school year with our UTRGV GEAR UP families. Second event and our families once again showed their commitment to their student’s future. It was a day full of learning, sharing and building community that will forever be a part of our GEAR UP program. Definitely getting ready for the next one. Thank you to CoolSpeak for making this event truly memorable.
