Do you think of yourself as a leader? At your school? In your
community? Have you never been a leader but secretly think you
could be? Do you know that being a leader does not always mean
being the girl with the loudest voice, or the person standing in
front of the room, or the one with the best ideas? Students will
explore leadership; conflict resolution and peace studies; social
justice; civic engagement; team building; public presentation;
college investigation, and more.
Fee: $400 (This includes room, board, and all
materials and activities.)
- "This will be the fifth leadership conference that I've attended and by far, this one was the most beneficial to me. Everything that we learned, I'm confident, will serve purpose in our lives." St. Louis, Missouri

The goal is to show students how exciting and fulfilling a career
in science can be and help them decide if a career in science is
suited to them. During the week on campus, students participate in
classes designed to showcase scientific disciplines and provide
hands-on experience in the laboratory. A field trip, a morning of
computer disassembly and reassembly, and special topic sessions are
scheduled for all participants.
Fee: $400 (This includes room, board, and all
materials and activities.)
- "I really feel like I learned a lot. The instruction was excellent." Katy, Texas
