GEAR UP
Welcome Letter from the GEAR UP Coordinator
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.ย My name is Lisa Repa and I am currently the GEARUP/KCP College Day Coordinator at Lake Superior State University.ย I am trying to re-implement the program back to its original standing, while ensuring that any student that is eligible for the program(s) is allowed to participate and benefit from them.
I have met with faculty and counselors from both local middle and high schools, as well as other surrounding area schools to go over planned activities as well as to start planning other programs/camps, to help students plan for a post-secondary educational path.ย The MI GEAR UP program is a solid opportunity for students to get the help they need in an educational capacity, as well as having the opportunities to earn scholarships to put towards their college education.
