Hello,
As we enter the holiday season it's time to think about summer camps -
really!
VA Tech Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity (CEED
<https://eng.vt.edu/ceed.html> ) is planning on being in-person for summer
2022 hosting a full slate of programs. All applications for CEED programs
are OPEN, and can be found on the program websites
<https://eng.vt.edu/ceed/ceed-pre-college-programs.html>
(https://eng.vt.edu/ceed/ceed-pre-college-programs.html). The university has
not made a decision regarding COVID vaccination requirements at this time. I
also try to maintain a list of all Virginia Tech STEM/Diversity pre-college
summer programs which can be found here
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1giJMJKsjryQcXyToZZt1ssZaSIfinq00gj9
etluxbVQ/edit?usp=sharing>
(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1giJMJKsjryQcXyToZZt1ssZaSIfinq00gj9
etluxbVQ/edit?usp=sharing). I will add to the list as I learn of additional
opportunities.
Below is the quick overview of CEED summer programs with links to the
websites.
