What is the craziest thing you've seen an instructor or student do during your time in the Upward Bound Program?

The craziest thing I have seen is last year when several of my students (who will go unnamed) put some dry ice in their mouths. Crazy!!

 

What interest you in becoming a staff member at Upward Bound?

I really love teaching astronomy.  It's great teaching at Upward Bound because UB students have a unique passion for learning. I got a lot out of my experience last year and so I wanted to do it again. It's a fun group of young adults.

 

How long have you been a member of the University of Washington's Upward Bound Program?

This is my second year.

 

Besides being here during the summer, where else would you rather spend your time?

Hiking, waterskiing, playing frisbee, camping, BBQing, listening to music
