Summer Program for New Students

reading and/or English or need extra assistance with their organizational and time
management skills. This program gives a student the opportunity to close the gap between
their current academic abilities and the start of college level coursework. The program
is for enrichment purposes and is non-credit bearing.
The only cost to the student is the textbook. In addition to classroom lecture time,
students participate in math, information and computer literacy, career exploration,
and college readiness workshops. The TRIO Summer Program is FREE and there is no textbook
required.
