SIUE Healthcare Diversity Summer Camp
Recognizing the value of increasing the diversity in our student body, and considering the low number of minority students who apply to the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Professional Healthcare programs, we offer a one-week summer camp for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors with an interest in pursuing a degree in healthcare. The aim of the summer camp is to expose students to careers in healthcare offered at SIUE. Students will be exposed to pharmacy, nursing and dental medicine.
Selected students will spend five days at the SIUE Schools of Pharmacy, Nursing and Dental Medicine, learning about each profession and developing skills that will be useful to them in becoming a successful college student. The program is open to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors enrolled in area high schools. Participants will spend four evenings in SIUE Student Housing, interacting with other participants, college students, and faculty members. The program is free of charge to participants.
Dates/Times: Monday-Friday, June 15-19
Age/Grade Level: Students entering grades 10-12
Where: SIUE Campus
Camp Fee: Free of charge to participants
