Helping out at UPH

Students from Skidmore College's Pre-College Program volunteered to do gardening and grounds clean-up at the historic Universal Preservation Hall on Saturday, July 16, as part of the program's community service component. The five-week summer program, which draws exceptional high school students from across the country and around the world, offers participants the opportunity to get a head start on college by residing on campus and taking college-level courses.
