The dates are set for 2018!
Hilltopper Academy will be July 23-August 3!
Hilltopper Academy is a two week-long, summer-bridge program designed to increase college readiness among entering freshmen.
Why should I participate in Hilltopper Academy?
Participants engage in a week of skill-building activities in Math, Critical-Thinking, Study Strategies and Time Management. These sessions acquaint students with college culture and empower them with information about “habits of mind” they must develop to ensure their academic and personal success.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Meet faculty in their major
- Take a refresher course in Math
- Meet student leaders and future classmates
- Learn about academic and co-curricular offerings at WLU
- Participate in ‘College Knowledge’ workshops to ease the transition from high school to college
- Receive one elective hour for successful completion of the program
