What are monthly Saturday Program meetings?
The Saturday Program classes and workshops are planned to strengthen UB student skills in test preparation for PSAT, SAT, MCAS, and other tests, to focus on specific academic areas needed in college like reading comprehension, essay and research paper writing, critical thinking and advanced math skills. We also work weekly with students on high school course selections, college applications, and financial aid applications. We train students in time management, problem-solving and conflict resolution. We often have guest speakers from area college resources like UMass/Dartmouth’s College Now Program to describe their offerings and how to access them.
