From cbrown at osrhe.edu Fri Mar 1 17:00:59 2013 From: cbrown at osrhe.edu (Brown, Cynthia (OSRHE)) Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2013 23:00:59 +0000 Subject: [Okepas] Summer Academy poster Message-ID: <40725C2F1AA6F1439615D767C663D7750D070DBC@Drake.osrhe.edu> FREE Summer Academies on College Campuses Colleagues, We have mailed the Summer Academies poster to many of you. I have also attached an 8.5x11 pdf of it. Please, please post these where 8th through 12th grade students and/or their parents will see it. If you don't receive a poster and can display it where rising 8th through 12th graders or their parents would see it, please send an email note to Valarie Autry: vautry at osrhe.edu. If any of you need more than we sent, please feel free to send an email note to Valarie Autry: vautry at osrhe.edu. Please encourage your students to check out the website: okhighered.org/summer-academies and apply for an Academy. Many students have later told us how attending an Academy helped them realize that they could go to college. These are designed to be a taste of collegiate experience for those students who might be hesitant as well as those ready to go. Thanks much, Cindy Cynthia Brown, Ed.D.
