Participants in Notre Dame’s Upward Bound and Talent Search Programs, along with students from Purdue University and the Illinois-based Family Centered Educational Agency, will attend with their parents.

Chris Chocola, R-Ind., and South Bend Mayor Steve Luecke, and sessions designed to assist students in achieving their higher education goals.p.

The programs at Notre Dame are Upward Bound, Educational Talent Search and the Ronald McNair Post-Baccalaureate Program.p. Established in 1966, Notre Dame’s Upward Bound program was one of the first such initiatives in the country and served as a prototype for other programs across the nation.
