Daily Light report While at UT, the students toured the campus and met with OnRamps program leaders. According to a news release, "OnRamps was established in 2011 with the mission of increasing the number and diversity of students who engage in learning experiences aligned with the expectations of leading universities. The program affords transformative learning experiences that meet college standards, incorporate innovative pedagogy, foster technology-enhanced education, and diffuse aligned college experiences." The students then received their official University of Texas at Austin shirts. The shirts will be able to be worn as part of their school uniform. OnRamps provides distance education courses via a dual enrollment model to more than 38,000 students across Texas — more than half of whom would be first in their families to earn a bachelor’s degree.
