Don't miss out on EPIC's first event of the fall 2020 semester! RSVP today!
EPIC Conversation with
Roger Lehecka
For over fifty years, the nationwide Upward Bound program has been helping youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds prepare for college. Double Discovery is Columbia's version of this very successful program. You'll enjoy hearing about its history from Roger Lehecka, who was an undergrad Columbia math major when he and a few friends first applied for a grant for a wild summer project.... In a sense it's a story of our generation, and its impact is still increasing.
Join us for a lively conversation between Roger Lehecka, Dean of Students for 19 years and founder of Columbia's Upward Bound Program in 1965 and Professor Emerita Fran Pritchett, now a volunteer in the Double Discovery programs created by Lehecka.
A question and answer period will follow the conversation.
