UNC's Project Uplift marks 50 years of service
Posted Jul 1, 2016
For nearly 50 years, Project Uplift has given students like Smith a small taste of college life. They will sleep in a residence hall, eat in a dining hall, attend classes and interact with faculty, staff and students. The intense two-day program is designed with diversity in mind, targeting African American, Native American, Latino/Hispanic, Asian American, low income and rural students.
