Students had so much fun stuffing their own bears and personalizing them last evening! 😊
We would also like to thank Michelle Ratnakar, PA-C, for coming to speak with the students about health preparedness for college! We appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with the students!

On Sunday, June 28, we took our summer academy students to Shepherd University, where they participated in the UB Olympics on Monday, June 29! Shepherd’s program and Marshall University’s program also represented. It was a great (but very hot 🥵) day. We had tons of fun and made lots of memories. Thank you to Shepherd University for hosting D&E Upward Bound!

What a busy week last week was! We took a 2 day trip to Beckley, WV for our Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) trip. We stayed at Glade Springs Resort and had a great stay. Breakfast was catered each day by Grandview Diner in Beaver, WV in (everything was delicious! Thank you!) On Wednesday, we had a tour of WVU Tech and had former D&E UB advisor Chelsey Toms join us for a welcome to the campus. Students got to talk about future careers and opportunities WVU Tech has to offer. Then, we did a campus tour and had lunch in their dining hall! After lunch, we made our way over to the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine for a tour underground of the mine, some of the history, and some good stories! We also toured a house and church! Later that evening, we broke into groups to do activities such as swimming, escape rooms, laser tag, and bowling! On Thursday, we made the trip back to Elkins and made some stops along the way at the Tamarack Shopping Center of WV local made goods! Then, we had lunch at the New River Gorge catered by Panera Bread in Beckley (thank you!) and got to view the gorge and bridge from different overlooks. When we got back to D&E, we had an etiquette dinner hosted by the college and Chef Mel - thank you so much for teaching our students about meal etiquette!
A busy, busy week, but the students had the best time! Thank you to all that helped make this trip possible!
