Creating a College-Going Culture in Maine.
Syntiro is thrilled to collaborate with the University of Maine at Farmington to enhance and support a robust college-going culture in Maine schools through the GEAR UP Maine grant. Our goal is to significantly increase the number of students who graduate high school and enroll and succeed in postsecondary education. We are excited to build upon the successes of Maine’s 2005-2011 GEAR UP grant and, with UMF and other partners, create outstanding opportunities for Maine's students!
GEAR UP Maine in partnership with FOCUS held the GEAR UP Maine Student Leadership Conference: ALL IN! Over the dates of October 13-14 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Bangor where students and staff networked, planned and developed their CAT teams for the school year.
Each school was asked to select two student CAT members (or students who could serve on the CAT moving forward) and one adult CAT member (who is a district staff member) to participate in the conference.
