Upward Bound

The Upward Bound program is a TRIO college preparation program funded by the United States Department of Education. The mission of Upward Bound is to motivate and support first-generation, low-income high school students in pursuit of a college degree. Year-round services include a nine-month Academic component and a six-week summer component. Services help our students recognize and tap into their inner talents and strengths to develop resiliency and persistence as they build a solid foundation for secondary and post-secondary success.

Harvesting Dreams

Harvesting Dreams is designed to increase the recruitment, retention, and academic success of African American students attending ICC. We explore some of the issues and challenges facing African American students, and develop strategies to enhance personal, academic, and career success.

We create opportunities to engage in group dialog and activities that reduce self-handicapping behaviors and promote the successful transition to college. Speakers and workshops will impart information that will heighten awareness and prepare participants to enhance their success by giving tools that promote college and career success.

Meeting Times

Meetings are held on Wednesdays at the East Peoria Campus, Academic Building, Tranquility Room, 210A from 12 – 1 pm.
