Fifty Bob Graham Education Center (BGEC) eighth graders visited five Florida universities in early June. As members of BGEC's innovative after school club, The COUP (College Offers Unlimited Possibilities), the scholars learned the value of exploring colleges and careers in order to make more informed decisions later in life.
This was the second annual COUP College Road Trip, which visits University of Central Florida (Orlando), University of Florida (Gainesville), Florida State University (Tallahassee), University of South Florida (Tampa), and Florida Gulf Coast University (Fort Myers) to have a variety of college experiences over a three-day period. The trip included guided campus visits, admissions presentations, dining hall meals, and residence hall tours.
