Time to Recommend Students for Summer BUILD, MARC U*START and RISE Programs
It may seem early, but when the spring semester begins the BUILD, MARC U*STAR and RISE programs will be recruiting students to join the cohorts starting in the summer of 2016. It’s never too early to recommend that students check out the programs at the information sessions that will be held starting early in the spring semester.
