About 200 students and their guests gathered in the campus recreation center in August to celebrate the completion of the summer portion of the College Prep and Young Scholars Programs, which UMass Lowell runs in partnership with the Lawrence Public Schools. College Prep prepares about 150 Lawrence High School students each year for college through academic enrichment, while the young scholars program targets middle-school-aged students for academic enrichment.
