As President of the University of Notre Dame for 35 years, Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., more affectionately known as Father Ted, was compelled to implement and establish programs advancing social justice. The Upward Bound program was of personal interest to Hesburgh as it provides an opportunity for low-income high school students to become the first in their families to attend a college. Since Hesburgh helped bring Upward Bound to Notre Dame back in the 1960s, it has maintained a presence on the campus for more than 40 years.
