Upward Bound Math and Science Program (UBMS) is a federally funded grant program that serves first-generation, underserved high school students. This pre-college program was developed to strengthen the math and science skills of high-school students and to encourage them to pursue postsecondary degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The UBMS Student Success Coach is part of a team of positive mentors aimed to improve postsecondary enrollment, retention, and completion outcomes. The Succes coach will provide intrusive counseling to identify key areas for improvement of academic and personal development and create an individualized college and career readiness plan to support those goals. The Success Coach will help guide and empower students to become more academically successful in their postsecondary pursuits in STEM careers.
