Summer High School Program

S2M2 Vision:
To cultivate the next generation of top quality, culturally competent academic physicians and scientists.

S2M2 Mission:
To encourage, nurture, and enhance the commitment to science and medicine in a welcoming and intellectually stimulating environment for groups of diverse high school students.

To develop leadership, teaching and mentoring skills among USU medical students and prospective students.

To provide long term mentoring and learning opportunities to students interested in pursuing a career in science and service in the context of military medicine.

Background
The Office of Recruitment and Diversity (ORD) implemented the Science, Service, Medicine, and Mentoring (S2M2) program for the first time during the Summer of 2004. S2M2 was developed in order to help high school students, already interested in science and medicine, continue down the path that will lead them to achieve their goals. The program was established in cooperation with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and especially the Admissions Department and the Office of Alumni Affairs.

The Institute for Responsible Citizenship is currently accepting applications for its summer program at Georgetown University in
Washington , DC.

Each summer, 12 of the most promising young minority male college sophomores in the country (possibly 24 this coming summer) are given the chance to travel to the nation's capital and engage in prestigious internships while taking rigorous classes at Georgetown. The courses in government and economics are designed to provide these young men with the skills necessary to critically analyze the world's problems while adhering to a deep respect for civil liberties. When the students are not in class or at work, they are often called upon to attend social functions designed to help them network in their field.

Personal meetings with such leaders as Colin Powell, John Lewis, and Clarence Thomas are made possible by the intimate nature of the
program.

The program runs from June 3 - July 28 and is a two-summer commitment (accommodations are made for students on the quarter system). During their first summer, students' primary responsibilities outside of their internships are their academic courses. The following summer, in addition to their internships, mentorship with the latest cohort of Institute students and young high school students becomes a priority.

Tuition and housing are paid for by the Institute, while students are expected to pay for their transportation and food. In addition, those not placed in paid internships will receive a stipend in the amount of $2500 . While there are no major requirements, the program focuses on attracting young men interested in the fields of law, politics, business, academics, and the ministry. You should be a sophomore to apply, however, juniors are considered if they are committed to
attending graduate or professional school directly following their senior year.

To give you an idea of the kind of students we have in our program, here are some statistics from our 2006 cohort:
GPA Range: 3.02 - 3.97 Average: 3.65
Leadership At least one post held at time of application

More information, along with the application, can be found on the web at http://www.i4rc.org
The application deadline is February 1.

Inquiries should be directed to info@i4rc.org
or (202) 659-2831.

World’s Only Minority Higher Education College Student Blog Inspires Under-Represented Students to Pursue Graduate School - PR.com: "GradPortal.org, the only graduate school directory focused on helping under-represented groups find programs and financial aid, has created a minority higher education college student blog that chronicles the experiences of minority students in the process of earning a graduate degree.

The purpose of this minority higher education college student blog, which is available at www.GradPortal.org/mentoring-channel, is to show members of minorities (which includes race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) that it is possible to earn a graduate degree as part of an under-represented group.
