HIGHLIGHT

MEEOA Rising Star Award

BJ McCollister is the first GEAR UP Maine Alumni to receive the Maine Educational Opportunity Association's Rising Star Award. GEAR UP Maine's Dori Fellman presented him with the award.

The Rising Star Award honors emerging leaders who strive toward the highest levels of personal and professional accomplishment, who excel in their chosen field, devote time and energy to their community in a meaningful way, and serve as a role model for other economically disadvantaged, first generation college bound students and students with disabilities.
