ISU TRiO Upward Bound summer program attracts 60 participants to campus
Sixty students are participating in the Idaho State University Upward Bound program's resident summer session learning the skills they need to be successful university-level students.

Fifty-two of the participants are high school students, the other eight are "bridge students," who are graduating high school seniors who participated in the program, said Mike Echanis, director of TRiO Student Services at Idaho State University. The Upward Bound students arrived on campus June 8 and their session ends July 31.
