Build-Up Point Loma Nazarene University Visit


On Friday, January 25th, a group of students in the Build-Up Program at Serra High School embarked on a higher education exploration to Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU). Students took part in an engaging guided tour on the beautiful seaside campus lead by current PLNU student ambassadors. The tour was followed by an informative admissions presentation from the university outreach representative and a panel of current college students sharing their first hand experience at the university. Build-Up participants all thoroughly enjoyed this experience as an opportunity to recharge after their finals week.

“Build Up” is a program aim to increase post-secondary preparedness and readiness for our military dependents at Serra High School. It is a partnership between the Office of Children and Youth in Transition (CYT) at San Diego Unified School District and the TRIO Upward Bound program at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) funded by a grant through the Department of Defense.
