The URI MARC trainees and Paul Cuffee Upper School (PCUS) in Providence, RI are collaborating on a mentoring program, where the URI students are working with a cadre of PCUS juniors and seniors on college readiness. The program involves the construction of specific deliverable’s pertaining to the college application process, as well as in-person visits to the URI campus to experience various aspects of college science instruction and research. This mentoring program reflects an important element of the URI MARC mission to ‘life as we climb’, ensuring that a pathway is created and elevated for future MARC trainees and URI scholars.
