Chapel Hill is Committed to its Minority Outreach Program | Journal of Blacks in Higher Education Weekly Bulletin - June 17, 2004 | Under the threat of legal action from conservative litigators, many universities are ending orientation and outreach programs designed specifically for minority students. But this summer the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is holding its 36th consecutive Project Uplift. Under the program, four groups of 250 minority high school students come to campus for two days to get a view of college life. They live in student residence halls, attend lectures, meet with current UNC students, learn about financial aid, and participate in leadership and team-building workshops. There are also cultural and entertainment events for the prospective minority students.
