Upward Bound is a college preparatory program that takes place at FVCC for six weeks each summer. This program for high school students begins at the beginning of June and ends in mid July. Upward Bound students participate in classes at the college on most days, but on occasion they travel. The Upward Bound has a large impact on the daily sales at the college bookstore and coffee stand. We have collected data on days when UB was at the college and days when they were traveling. This is the data we collected.
