Upward Bound Program. Dalton is now attending Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) where he is majoring in Accounting.
Dalton has become very active around campus here at SWOSU. Dalton

You can do anything that
you put your mind to.

Things to Know…………………….in UB
Even if you are a veteran
UBer you might need a few
reminders on our
procedures. First of all, you
should know when the
meetings are and what time
the buses run. If you don’t
know when they are, please
e-mail me or Jamie and we
will let you know. If you
know that you will be absent
during a Saturday meeting
you MUST send in a postcard
(your counselor should have
one) signed by your school
sponsor. The absence must
be an approved school
activity to be excused.
Secondly, I know you get
tired of hearing you need to
do Comfit, but there is a reason for this. Jamie has
explained this to all of you at
some point or another, You
must have 15 lessons completed each month to earn
part of your stipend. Third,
you must not be a discipline
problem. Remember, if you
have questions, feel free to
call or e-mail us! There is also
