Marshall Pharmacy School teams with Upward Bound at WV State

January14,2013 High school students in the Math and Science Upward Bound program at West Virginia State University were recently exposed to the brand new Marshall University School of Pharmacy.

West Virginia State University Upward Bound Director Barbara Cary is trying to break a cycle. You see, a new agreement with the Marshall University School of Pharmacy, serves as another option for the high school kids they serve to see whats possible with a college degree. Cary said its about taking kids without many options and moving them into the group with many options.

We use a holistic approach with the emphasis on education especially being the vehicle that would change the plight of students who do not have the benefit of parents who have college educations, Cary said.

West Virginia States Math and Science Upward Bound program is part of a new agreement with the MU School of Pharmacy. The Upward Bound program works with high school students to expose them to different college opportunities, while tracking and helping them progress through high school.

Krystal Tolliver is the director for the Math and Science program with Upward Bound at West Virginia State. She said its about giving the students a chance to see whats out there.
