Membership

TRiO participants including their families, stay connected with Upward Bound as alumni or active in the Parents Association.

Alumni Association

TRiO participants become members of the Alumni Association upon their graduation from High School. Maintaining a connection with the program provides each student with a valuable resource for both the transition to college and beyond college completion. The UTA Alumni Association holds activities and events each semester to provide ways to connect to these resources.

The TRiO staff welcomes all TRiO participants on campus to stop in and visit with them on the 7th floor of Carlisle Hall.

To re-connect on the internet please provide us with your contact information or join us on Facebook or contact us.

Student Advisory Council

The UTA Upward Bound Student Advisory Council (SAC) is an advisory body through which eligible Upward Bound Council members may make recommendations to the program Director relative to interests, concerns, and issues that affect the students of the UTA Upward Bound program.

The Council may make recommendations on general grievance policies but does not act on individual grievance issues. The Council may advise on specific issues and otherwise act at the requests of the Director. The Council shall endeavor to keep the Upward Bound students informed and in turn keep the Director and administrative staff advised of the needs and interests of the students on issues and activities affecting them.
