Case Study : The Summer Student Program

As an undergraduate student, the topics that emerged from writing research and essay papers were topics that I or others could relate to. The opportunity to participate in research came to me, I could not resist but to pursue being a part of it. I was in the developmental lab organized by Dr. Knifsend for the past two years of my undergraduate career.

I believe that The Helix Summer Science Institute is not solely an enriching academic experience, but also a social engagement opportunity. I believe that I would make an excellent student at the Helix Summer Science Institute 2016 because, by enhancing my understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects of science, I would be able to integrate this knowledge into my life. This academically rigorous program presents me with the opportunity to acquire methodical, logical and practical skills that are applicable to the real world. I am a very studious, motivated and passionate student, who perseveres in the face of adversity, while always respecting my peers. I embrace diversity, and believe that success is achieved through collaboration. I have a passion for science and public outreach, and I believe that these interests are connected.

It consists of undergraduates that focus on research and is funded by the National Institutes of Health.

As someone who has always had an affinity for knowledge, I believe my participation in the MARC U*STAR program would only enhance my understanding of the research field. I am currently working on an ongoing research project with my professor and mentor, Dr. Edward Opoku-Dapaah. Through Dr. Opoku-Dapaah, I am learning how to formulate research questions and the methods in which I can obtain information for my research. I will be presenting my research findings during our school’s annual Scholarship Day at the Research Symposium. Through the MARC U*STAR program, I would be able to gain hands-on research and laboratory experience. I have always believed that the best way for me to gain knowledge is through practical hands-on experience.

The Summer Leadership Academy will host the girls Monday thru Thursday of every week in July for summer support and extracurricular activities. Additional summer staff is needed to chaperone field trips, facilitate long-term projects and expanded learning (financial literacy, leadership development, college and career exposure, etc.) Eight graders with consistent participation will attend a weeklong college tour after they complete the program with their mothers. Since the majority of the families we serve are African American, this will be a tour of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. In addition, younger girls will be supported with their academics by attending a weeklong BrainCake summer sleep away camp. They will learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as other fun social capital building activities. DCPNI summer staff will support both activities

This capstone course concludes with a research Team Project that starts during the first week and continues throughout the duration of the class.  It culminates with the submission of a formal team report and an oral presentation by each team during Week 7, and Peer Reviews in Week 8.

There are different clubs you can join like sports the alumni, the bug club, horticultural and sciences, the requirements to attend this school is you have your a-g requirements. And you also need to have 500 for sat verbal + math, and 19 for act math and reading. You have to have minimum a 2.0 gpa. Overall c average. And your scores will not available if you went to different school.

I want to be in the Anderson Scholars Science program because I want to get better at science and do more in-depth research. The internship in the program sounds like a great experience for me, and the research project seems like it would be good to do some real research and fun to do. I will contribute to the Anderson Scholars by going to all of the field trips and science seminars. I will get good grades in my science classes and take AP science classes. I will work hard to become a good scientist. One of the things I hope to gain from this program is some experience on what its like to be a scientist doing research that isn’t just a premade lab. The Anderson Scholars program can give me the opportunity to find out what areas of science

Assist by providing resources for a hands-on research experience for students completing advanced studies in the sciences. 2. Provide assistance to clinicians and scientists in carrying out innovative research ideas and projects. PARTICIPANT OBJECTIVES

Summer Programs Help Prepare Minority Students for College STEM, Laura Perez, CHEM 1305, August 08, 2016

The Office of Diversity Affairs focuses on two main initiatives, the first of which is the Summer Biomedical Research Program (SBRP). This programs affords undergraduates with the opportunity to engage in scientific research at BSOM and Vidant Medical Center. Undergraduates chosen for this program develop essential researching skills including writing and presenting clinical research. Furthermore, this program provides students who belong to groups that are underrepresented (e.g., racial/ethnic, religious, veteran status) in science with a unique opportunity to find a mentor in the medical field that shares a mutual interest.

In her eight years at UTSA and her five as program manager, Bauer and her team have managed to exponentially expand the amount of students that attend the summer camp from roughly 100 to more than 1000. Not only has she helped to grow the program, but she has also broadened the curriculum of the summer camp itself. Before, what used to just involve robotics, Bauer has diversified the activities to include other aspects of science and engineering. So now, not only does the program include robotics it also includes topics in microbiology, chemistry, weather, and

Medicine is a vast field. I have taken various health science classes over the past three years that have given me a brief overview of medicine and physiology. However, I believe that a summer experience at Summer Ventures would allow me to gain a better understanding of science by immersing myself in research and other learning opportunities. During my sophomore year of high school I took AP Psychology to complement my schedule. I wasn’t very serious about the course in the beginning, but over time I found myself becoming really intrigued with the subject. Moreover, I have been left with a lasting desire to learn more about the brain and the human body. An opportunity to do research on a topic such as the health sciences would not only provide

Research is something I have a profound interest in. It is something that I would like to pursue immediately after graduation. I tried to get my foot in the door with becoming a research assistant for spit for science, and I have gain knowledge of what takes places in a psychology based lab however participating in this boot camp would provide a greater preparation and experience for research within actual

Both in the theoretically and in practical , courses with research based components have tended to be considered quite separately from research experiences initiated by researchers and outside of students formal classes such as vacation scholarship programs. Although, all the opportunities to engage in research during their time at university, whether in formal classes or outside of them, constitute, for students, the experienced curriculum and, as such, need to be considered together.
