Upward Bound Summer Program - Resident Hall Night Security Guard

Job Description:

Upward Bound at Wittenberg University conducts, each summer, a residential program for first-generation college and culturally diverse high school students who have the potential to succeed in college, but may need motivation, encouragement, strengthened basic skills, or a sense of how education can become meaningful in their lives. The program in one dimension emphasizes preparation in English, math, foreign language, literature, reading, study skills, and laboratory science, but offers courses in other areas. In addition, there are many activities, trips and other experiences designed to help students grow and mature. Upward Bound is neither a traditional summer school nor a summer recreation program. It is a place in which a unique community of study and play, of personal search and group concern, develops anew each summer, with the nature of each summer dependent upon what each student and staff member brings to the common sharing of life and thought.
