Follow on Google News | Oakland University Honors College hosts first-ever ‘Summer Experience’ for high school studentsNearly 60 high school students got a glimpse into campus life when they visited OU for the inaugural Honors College Summer Experience in July.
As Honors College Dean Graeme Harper explained, the event was launched “to highlight the great work going on at Oakland – around the campus, in all fields of research and creative endeavor, to highlight the opportunities here for high-achieving students and aspirational high schoolers, and to show what The Honors College can do to support these students as they pursue their dreams.” Nearly 60 high school students attended the event and were split up into small groups, each led by an Honors College upperclassman. The students learned about some of Michigan’s best-known innovators and “game-changers,” Dean Harper welcomed students and parents to Oakland and offered insights on the unique opportunities and challenging curriculum available to OU Honors College students. An Honors College upperclassman led a tour of Meadow Brook Hall, guiding students through the nooks and crannies of the 1920s Tudor-revival style mansion that was once the home of OU founder Matilda Dodge Wilson and her second husband, Alfred. “The Honors College at Oakland seeks to support the vision of Matilda and Alfred Wilson in reaching out to high-achieving students and supporting their aspirations,” To learn more about OU’s Honors College, visit oakland.edu/ End
