The University of Wyoming has selected 90 talented Wyoming sophomores to participate in the annual Summer High School Institute (SHSI) June 8-28 at UW.
The students, nominated for SHSI by their schools and then selected by a group of UW faculty members, enjoy a rare opportunity to learn and exchange ideas without concern about grades or credits.
Among the areas to be studied are world hunger, knights and cowboys, drama, ethics and society, weather aviation, understanding cultural development, pharmacy, and the links between life and the arts.
The goals are to help selected high school students achieve their academic and personal potential and cultivate leadership capabilities. The program is designed to expand students' horizons, develop their adaptability, creativity and critical thinking abilities, and heighten their sensitivity to future possibilities for themselves and society. SHSI strives to stimulate and reward excellence in Wyoming schools.
A select group of UW faculty members and special consultants will work closely with students in classes, seminars and extracurricular activities. An array of stimulating speakers and films, field trips and recreational events will be offered.
Applications for next year's institute will be available at all Wyoming high schools in early December.
