Item Released 7/17/07
Young Professionals - Not Your Typical Summer Camp Worcester State College (WSC) has prepared professionals in the Worcester Community for over 130 years. This summer, the College is preparing 42 middle-school students in the Young Professionals program to engage their budding interests in science and writing. The Young Professionals Program, hosted by the Division of Graduate and Continuing Education, is a 2–week summer day camp held on the WSC campus. The program offers two weeks of fun, inspiration, and imagination that will strengthen core academic, personal, and creative skills. It offers great exposure to college and "professions.” The Young Professionals Program is taught by experienced and engaging certified teachers, who are assisted and guided by Worcester State College faculty. Thanks to the generosity of donors such as Webster Five Foundation and Millbury Credit Union, 14 of the students are attending the program on scholarship. These students come from public and private Worcester schools and many live in neighboring areas. Young authors spend their mornings meeting real authors and learning how to write their own story. The afternoons are spent creating and illustrating their own book. Young scientists spend their mornings working in real labs and outdoors uncovering, exploring and examining the unusual. The afternoons are spent having fun with “experimental art.” The students also get together for a power lunch where they learn and practice leadership skills through games and activities. At 5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 20th there will be a Finale and Family Supper with an exhibition and presentation by the new Young Professionals. |
