UB - Avila University Alumni: Josh Packwood
The Upward Bound program at Avila University has helped out many students in its long history. One of the students that has gone through the program is Joshua Packwood, a 2004 Grandview High grad. His story coming from Grandview and becoming valedictorian at Morehouse College is a great one.
He has represented Upward Bound well. We hope that he can serve as an inspiration to students that are in the same position he was in many years ago.
