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).</div>
