UVM is monitoring the situation, developing response plans and providing comprehensive information.
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, UVM TRIO Upward Bound has moved its services to a remote-delivery model. This means that the physical space at 234 Living/Learning Commons will be minimally staffed. However, UB will maintain all typical student services during this time - these services will simply be provided using a distance format (at the recommendation of VT state officials).
Also, the program is still recruiting new student participants for the upcoming summer and school year, so please feel free to submit application materials by email (adam.hurwitz@uvm.edu) or mail (234 L/L Commons, Burlington, VT 05405).
If you wish to reach out to Upward Bound, please email Program Director Adam Hurwitz at adam.hurwitz@uvm.edu or Program Assistant Director Matt Yu at mbyu@uvm.edu.
In the meantime, we urge you to keep yourselves, your loved ones, and your larger community safe by practicing social distancing and following these CDC guidelines for staying safe during coronavirus.
UVM’s program enrolls 63 students annually from Burlington and Winooski High Schools.
