College Application Support

Each student who completes the summer seminar will receive a college letter of recommendation from their professor and assistance with college applications and planning for the future.

Civic Engagement Project

After the summer seminar, students will meet regularly in small groups from September through May to work on a civic engagement project of their choice. Projects will be about civic matters that are important to each group and will explore ways to make a difference.
