Summer Honors Institute

Funded by the Ohio Department of Education, the program is designed to extend academic learning and personal growth for gifted high school students. The 2008 Summer Honors Institute for gifted high school students at CSU recognizes that gifted students need to investigate the real-world applications of their academic and personal gifts and talents. Participants will explore math, physics, the arts, politics, themselves, and other people and how these connect and apply in the creation of personally meaningful and balanced lives.This Institute is the result of collaboration among CSU's Honors Program, the College of Education Gifted Program, the college of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Science. Students will have the opportunity to make new friends with similar interests and abilities while engaging in state-of-the-art science and math experiences in university lab facilities the visual arts, writing and exciting political simulations. Mentoring will be provided by current CSU Honors Program students and all instruction will be provided by Cleveland State University faculty. This is an experience students won't want to miss!
