THINK OF THE INGREDIENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SUMMER

Ingredient 1: YOU!

You know you want to succeed. You are thinking of a career, maybe several. You want to know what college is like, even before you graduate from high school. You work hard in school and take pride in your academic achievements. You will be in the 10th or 11th grade during the 2004-2005 school year. You enjoy making new friends and working on projects with others who share your interests.

Ingredient 2: THE SUMMER!

This summer, you can take the next step toward your future. Spend time living, studying and making new friends on the campus of Central State University, in the culturally rich and beautiful setting of Southwestern Ohio.

Ingredient 3: THE PROGRAM!

The Summer Honors Institute is a three-session program; each session is one week long. Students may apply to participate in one or more of the sessions, as described on the next page. The program features courses and workshops in art, music, writing, critical thinking, print journalism, broadcasting, test-taking skills, and African studies. Students work closely with experienced college faculty to enhance their skills as creative thinkers, writers, test-takers and problem solvers. In addition, a variety of athletic and social events is designed to complement the classes and workshops to give participants the chance to grow both intellectually and socially.

Utensils Needed: THE CAMPUS!

For over a century, Central State has developed a tradition of excellence in the education of students from all walks of life and ethnic groups. Its alumni include a number of nationally prominent persons in the arts, business, government, and education. Located adjacent to the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center, CSU offers a rich, multicultural living and learning experience for students from all over America and the world. Much of the university's current research focuses on new and more effective teaching and learning strategies. Many faculty are actively engaged in research and creative projects. Summer Institute participants will get to work with some of these faculty, as well as learn in an environment rich with opportunities to expand their intellectual horizons.
