Crowder Upward Bound

October C2C Recap!

We had another great C2C this past Saturday with our Upward Bound students. Our students had the chance to learn, create, relax, and have some fun throughout the morning.

Stress Relief – Students learned ways to manage stress and take care of their well-being. (Shout out to our Admin Assistant Chance for putting on such a great session!)

AC Time – A chance to check in with their Academic Coordinators, stay on top of goals, and get the support they need.

Research – Students put their creativity to work by writing their own short thriller stories! We loved seeing the unique (and spooky!) ideas they came up with!

Dancing – We finished things off by getting up, moving, and having some fun!

We're proud of our students for continuing to show up, learn, grow, and make the most of their Upward Bound experience.

🌟💙 From the Classroom to the Radiology Lab! 🩻✨

Congratulations to UB South student Madisyn Quinn for recently completing a job shadowing experience in a local hospital’s radiology lab and earning $600 through Upward Bound! 👏 Experiences like this help students connect their education to future careers, explore their interests, and picture what’s possible after high school.

Madisyn got an inside look at the world of radiologic technology and what it’s really like to work in a hospital setting.
“This experience allowed me to observe MRI, X-ray, CT and ultrasound technicians and gain a better understanding of what radiologic technologists do and what working in a radiology lab is like. I learned about patient interaction and safety, different types of medical imaging and how they work, and the importance of imaging accuracy. It confirmed that it is a career I am interested in pursuing!”

If you are currently a student in the UB program, talk to your AC to find out how you can take advantage of this rewarding opportunity!

🏢 Are you a local business, organization, or institution interested in providing job shadowing opportunities for our high school students? Your time and expertise can make a meaningful difference as we work to expand career exploration opportunities for our students. Reach out to us—we’d love to have you join us in building the future! 🤝🎓

Missouri Southern State University is offering a wonderful opportunity for students to explore different degrees and learn more about potential career paths!

Please note: This is an opportunity that students will need to attend on their own, as Upward Bound will not be providing transportation to or from this event.
