<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">We're excited to announce a fantastic opportunity for Oklahoma's rising 8th – 12th-grade students (current 7th – 11th). This summer they have the chance to delve into various STEM fields
while experiencing life on a college campus. We offer both commuter opportunities (students go home every evening) and residential opportunities (students stay overnight on the college campus).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Applications open on March 1st for these dynamic and activity-packed academies. Please help us spread the word far and wide! Share the attached flyer or use the provided link in your communications,
social media, and more. Space is limited, so early applications are encouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">The attached flyer features a QR code for a comprehensive overview of all academies and application details. Alternatively, you can share the information through the link below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
