Participants in the Upward Bound and Student Support Services programs recently celebrated TRiO Month activities on the North Central Missouri College campus.
On Xtreme Saturday, students in the Upward Bound program (pictured) were given a tour of NCMC’s new Barton Farm Campus by David Nowland, agriculture instructor. U.B. participants are students at Grundy, Tri-County, Chillicothe, Grundy R-5, Hamilton and Trenton high schools.
