Today’s Women’s History announcement:

Janet Guthrie is the first woman to drive in the Indy 500, 1977
Guthrie was an aerospace engineer, training to be an astronaut, when she was cut from the space program because she didn’t have her PhD. She turned to car racing instead and became the first woman to qualify for the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500. Mechanical difficulties forced her out of the 1977 Indy race, but the next year she finished in ninth place (with a broken wrist!). The helmet and suit that Guthrie wore in her first Indy race are on display in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.

In recognition of Black History Month, today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. More than 50 years after his assassination in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as an activist, a prominent leader in the civil rights movement, a pioneering historical Black figure, and a wordsmith. His impact is still felt today, as his daughter carries on his legacy, and we continue to look to him for strength when the fight for racial equality seems unending. Throughout his years of public service, the Nobel Peace Prize winner wrote and delivered speeches—the most notable being his 1963 “I Have a Dream” address—that provided wisdom that still holds true. One of  Martin Luther King, Jr.’s most famous quotes about kindness, courage, and unity.  “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

Students who are interested in STEM summer programs may be interested in the following programs:

• Discovering STEM in ACES is a two-week virtual experience, July 11-23, 2021, via Zoom from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is free for students.  This is a virtual opportunity for students to discover their interests in STEM-based careers. Current sophomores or juniors who rank in the top 25% of their class with a “B” average are encouraged to apply.  
• The United States Naval Academy Summer STEM is a one week program during the month of June designed to encourage 9th-11th grade students to pursue a course of study in STEM fields.  Students do not have to have an interest in attending the Naval Academy to participate in this camp.  This program may be held virtually if Covid-19 does not permit in-person camps.   There is a fee for this program, but scholarships are available for tuition and travel costs. 

Additional summer programs are as follows:

• Ag Discovery Program-University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign:  This program is for students interested in exploring opportunities associated with becoming a veterinarian and working with wildlife.  The program will be virtual from July 11-30, 2021 and is free for students. 

• The Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s Student Leaders Program is an eight-week paid internship for current juniors and seniors with a nonprofit organization selected by the Bank.  Students will also attend a week long Student Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C. from July 12-17th.  The application deadline for this program is January 29th.   

• The United States Naval Academy Summer Seminar: Current Juniors who are interested in the Naval Academy are encouraged to apply for their summer seminar which is held in June.  This is a great opportunity for students who are considering the Academy as their college of choice because it will be a good introduction to life at the Academy.  There is a fee for this program, but scholarships are available for tuition and travel costs. 

Please stop by the Counseling Office for additional information about the registration process for these programs.
