HUES Summer Institute Kick Off: August 16th

Once again, as new students converge on campus for freshman orientation, the Center for Science Education’s HUES Summer Institute is giving underrepresented science majors a head start toward success at Emory. The institute, which begins on Sunday and ends with a Barbecue social on August, 21st, aims to introduce incoming students to the college experience, while assisting with the development of a personal action plan for success at Emory. Workshops and seminars help to familiarize students with the teaching styles and demands of freshman science courses, as well as other core concepts. In addition, each student is paired with a faculty mentor during the summer program. Mentors and students meet regularly throughout the academic year.

For more information about the HUES Summer Institute or the ongoing HUES (Hughes Undergraduates Excelling in Science) program, contact Ms. Andrea Neal, 404.727.0954. Opportunities are available for both students and mentors.
