Students who have completed the eighth or ninth grade can participate in the July 9-15 camp on the Pullman campus. The campers will spend time in science labs and take field trips to WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine, computing center, radio and television studios, planetarium, observatory and other university units. We hope to stimulate the minds of camp participants and show them an exciting, intellectual world full of opportunities. Weissbart, a member of the chemistry faculty, works with the university's New Student Programs as an academic adviser. As an adviser, I meet students who are about to take courses at the university for the first time.
Many fields require a significant number or science courses that the students fear.
During the camp, we hope to show the students that science is something to be enjoyed and explored, not feared. Two student groups that include WSU honors students and chemistry researchers will assist with the camp. The WSU science summer camp began in 1983 by chemistry professor Glenn Crosby, who asked Weissbart to direct the 2000 camp. Application deadline is June 12. This page has been accessed times.
