About Us

About GEARS

          GEARS stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness in Superior.  Our program began in August 2009 after the University of Wisconsin-Superior was awarded a KnowHow2Go grant from UW-System.  A partnership was developed between staff and administration at UW-Superior and the Superior Middle School to create what is now the GEARS program.

  •  13 UWS college mentors and 21 Superior Middle School students participated in GEARS during spring semester 2010.
  •  32 UWS college mentors and 60 Superior Middle School students participated in GEARS during fall semester 2010. 
  •  95% of GEARS students improved their grades in at least one core academic area. 
  • 50% of GEARS students improved their grades in all four core academic areas (Math, Language Arts, Science & Social Studies).
