Greetings from the University of Chicago!

We are so excited to share a new summer program this year which would offer your students an opportunity to develop their math and science skills while familiarizing themselves with UChicago’s culture of inquiry and beautiful ivy-laden campus.

The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars Summer Program is designed to eliminate barriers to entry that have surrounded STEM fields and help usher in a new generation of changemakers into these fields. This program invites rising high school seniors to campus for a one-week immersive program taught by world-class UChicago faculty, and provides access to college counseling, state of the art facilities, and other resources. The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars program offers talented students an environment of collaborative learning, mentorship, and STEM-focused advising.

Not only will this program offer students tremendous insight and knowledge into college-level STEM courses, but it will also provide a chance to acquaint themselves with our College, our campus, and our community. The opportunity to live in and engage with a major city is one that can be perspective-changing for many summer scholars at UChicago. Chicago is the “City of Big Shoulders”— a city skyline carved by architects of the past and the present. This city is home to some of the most accomplished engineers, scientists, mathematicians, doctors, and inventors of our time. Our university stands on the shoulders of giants, bolstered by the achievements of the Chicagoans and UChicago scholars who came before us, and your students may someday share in these achievements.

If you’re interested in learning more about this opportunity or recommending it to a student, you can visit here. For additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Program Director, Nicole Mullen at ncmullen@uchicago.edu.
