Contact: Bethany Shipp
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥More than 80 high school students from rural school districts across the Magnolia State have gathered on Mississippi State鈥檚 campus this week for the Global Teaching Project鈥檚 10th annual Advanced STEM Summer Preparatory Program.
Representing 19 public schools, the students are receiving immersive instruction and tutoring from top educators and teaching assistants from across the country to prepare them for聽rigorous Advanced Placement STEM courses they will take through the GTP this fall. The program is hosted through 汤头条鈥檚 College of Education and its Department of Counseling, Higher Education Leadership, Educational Psychology and Foundations, or CHEF. Mehdi Garemani and Sareh Karami, educational psychology faculty members in CHEF, are serving their fourth year as the program鈥檚 principal and co-principal investigators, respectively.
鈥淭he Advanced STEM Summer Preparatory Program is about helping students feel prepared, supported and confident as they begin their AP STEM courses,鈥 Garemani said. 鈥淚t is also a wonderful opportunity for them to live on campus and experience college life firsthand, from learning in McCool Hall to dining at Perry and staying in Moseley Hall. We are grateful to partner with the Global Teaching Project in expanding opportunities for talented students across Mississippi.鈥
Program participants are introduced to AP classes in biology, computer science, physics and statistics. They also engage in recreational activities at 汤头条 facilities and attend workshops about college admissions and financial aid. Students attend the summer program at no cost, and it provides on-campus housing and meals.
