Even though you're not through with the first semester, you might want to be thinking about what you're going to do during the summer. While I think a real vacation - perhaps some pool time is in order - is essential to your well-being, you also have time to do something more meaningful. Three ideas recently crossed my desk, and I want to share them with you.
1. The Kelley School of Business at Indiana University offers a free summer program for rising juniors who have an interest in business. there are two week-long sessions to choose from : June 8-13, 2014 and June 22-27, 2014. You are responsible for transportation, but that's the only expense.
The admissions process is selective (of course!), and applicants must have a 3.5 GPA. We can only nominate two students, so if you are considering a business career, this is an outstanding opportunity. Please see me for more details.
2. Vanderbilt University's pre-college PAVE program for rising seniors is a great opportunity for students interested in engineering, pre-medical/healthcare, science, or technology. However, this five week program is also a good opportunity for people interested in the humanities as well. For more information about PAVE, visit their website: http://bit.ly/1bx91Hc. If you would like us to nominate you (you can still apply on your own), please let us know ASAP (this week).
3. If you are a little more adventurous and want to get away from home, check out the summer programs at the University of Southern California. You can find two or four week experiences in architecture, business, global studies, performing arts, writing, pre-law or pre-health, engineering, and journalism. This program, I believe, is open to all high school students, but you can find more information at http://summer.usc.edu.
We have already posted a few summer possibilities, but there will be more to come! Whatever you decide to do this summer, take some time to consider your options and plan what makes the most sense for you.
