Nov. 9, 2015: Upward Bound High School Students from Vermont Visit Dartmouth College
Upward Bound is a federally funded program sponsored by the U.S. department of Education that provides opportunities to disadvantaged high school students to succeed in their pre-college performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. The Mirica Group designed and organized the visit to give the students an idea of what it is like to be a research scientist. The visit included the tour of the NMR facility, tour of the roof-top green house, lunch with current Dartmouth students, and a lab activity on making chemical sensors from carbon nanomaterials by drawing!
