Sr. Angela Hoffman, chemistry, is conducting research with two high school seniors full time this summer. Theodore (Nguyen) Truong from Gresham High School is sponsored by Saturday Academy’s Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) program, and Vy Le from Madison High School is sponsored by The American Chemical Society’s Project SEED and ASE. There are many more students in the ASE program scattered through Oregon and SW Washington. They will all be coming to campus on Friday, August 16 for a day-long symposium at which they will present their summer project as a poster and as a 15-minute talk. All faculty, staff, and students are welcome to come for some or all of the symposium from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “You will be surprised at the high quality of their research and presentations,” promises Sr. Angela. “Saturday Academy is always looking for more mentors, so if anyone is inspired to do so, contact the Saturday Academy office here on campus at 503-200-5858 or www.saturdayacademy.org/ase, or contact me for more information at hoffman@up.edu.” More information is available at this link: http://conta.cc/1dfHc3x.
