I hope this letter finds you well. We continue to reach out to our UB and UBMS participants with virtual academic and college readiness services. We understand that with the transition to online high school courses some students may be having difficulties. The TAMUK UB-Rural &UBMS-Rural teams are here to help! If you know of any UB/UBMS students who are having an extremely challenging time and could use more focused services, please let us know. If packets are available for these students, please forward them to us and we can assist as needed.

Tutors and Academic Success Coaches are available during regular business hours or during evening hours by appointment. We currently have multiple resources in place to assist them academically. They can still earn stipends by completing virtual activities or by meeting with tutors.

If you have any questions or if we can provide support to our participants or to your school, please feel free to contact us.
