Students and staff participate in educational, cultural, and recreational activities throughout the summer.

Medical Managers will work with the Administrative Staff and Residential Mentors from Upward Bound Programs (UBP) to ensure the well-being and safety of all students and other staff members. The Medical Managers will also serve generally as a role model who exhibits sound judgment, maturity, and common sense; enforce UBP and University regulations in a consistent and objective manner; attend and chaperone groups of students as they participate in activities both on and off campus; monitor students; attend staff meetings when necessary; complete program documentation and evaluations by established deadlines; and perform sick duty as scheduled.
