The primary purpose of the GEAR UP Professional is to help our students Gain Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs. However, as we prepare students for this all important journey, we find that there may be many bumps and detours that they will encounter along the path. As a GEAR UP Professional we will learn to look for clues the students provide to these bumps and effectively assist the student in dealing with today in order to reach tomorrow. We will guide the student in effectively dealing with everyday issues. This will be a class participation presentation.
