历史 of 向上的束缚

The 向上的束缚 program dates back to 1968 when it began at the Claremont University Center. In 1972, the grant was moved to Harvey Mudd College by then president Joseph Platt 和 then newly appointed Dean of Faculty, Sam Tannenbaum. From the start, Octavio Boubion, the grant’s project director, distinguished himself 和 the grant 智慧h a reputation for innovation 和 creativity. At the time, such satellite programs 和 internship models were unprecedented nationally.

By 1972, what we now know as the La Jolla Science Project had begun exposing students 和 staff to the wonders of nature 和 science by combining classroom 和 internship experiences in a residential program built around the notion of mentoring. In the mid-1970s, the Capitol Internship Project extended the model to the 状态 capitol. And in the early ’90s, the Georgetown Project started traveling across America 智慧h 10 students, a tutor 和 then director, 吉姆·沙利文. Academic Frontiers, which targeted students who had just completed the ninth grade, had also begun at Harvey Mudd College.

一路走来, other creative projects have come 和 gone: a program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena (later passed along to East Los Angeles College); a wilderness program run from a high Sierra bunk house; a grant targeting students in the Central Valley 和 low desert 智慧h an interest in math 和 science careers started in the early 90s 智慧h programs at Loyola Marymount University, UCLA 和 Harvey Mudd; 和 a joint program 智慧h the U.S. Navy serving students from across the United States. But the defining spirit of the 向上的束缚 Program—a commitment to exp和 opportunity 和 academic innovation—has always remained a constant.

现在, after more than 50 years of hope 和 creativity, the program turns to the talented staff, alumni 和 students to sustain it 智慧h energy, 激情, 完整性, 智慧, 和, 最重要的是, an abiding commitment to justice 和 opportunity.
