Dr. Charles Rowins, director of
the Center for Academic Advance¬
ment at Johns Hopkins, was at
Fresno State yesterday to recruit
possible applicants for counseling
and teaching positions and to work
out summer camp details with
Fresno State faculty.
The Johns Hopkins Institute for
the Academic Advancement of
Youth, and its program, the Center
for Talented Youth have been do¬
ing summer programs for younger
students for 17 years.
To be eligible for any summer
camps the students' grades must be
in the top 97th percentile in the
United States. Students who wish
to apply must take the Scholastic
Aptitude Test. The students who
score 530 on the'math and 510 on
the verbal are trien eligible for the
summer academy, sponsored by
CTY.
What Rowins and the newly
formed CAA want to do is include
those students left out by the CTY.
For the program Fresno State will
host, which is in its first year, stu¬
dents must score at least a 430 on
math and a 430 on verbal.
"The program is intended to give
a residential and a social experience
that is enjoyable to them," Rowins
said.
Students will focus on one sub¬
ject for three weeks. Five hours a
day is dedicated to teaching and an
additional two hours a day is allot¬
ted for study hall. The students are
housed in the on-campus dormito¬
ries.
"We want to emphasize highly
able.youngsters and the importance
of giving them academic chal¬
lenges," Rowins said. "[It is] not
only important for them but for our
society."
The aim is to provide the young
scholars with challenging and
stimulating academic experience.
Writing, computational and critical
thinking skills are emphasized.
Some of the courses are being de¬
signed by Fresno State professors.
Field trips and other experien¬
tial training will highlight the sub¬
jects taught in class.
The program costs $2,000,
which includes the cost of room and
board, and financial aid is available.
Rowins, in recruiting for the
teaching and counseling positions,
said he hopes some of the jobs will
be filled by members from the im¬
mediate community.
Other schools picked as host
sites were Caltech in Pasadena and
Goucher College, a liberal arts
school outside of Baltimore.
According to Rowins, enroll¬
ment is a maximum of 15 students
to a class, with a total of between
200 and 230 children.
For more information, contact
either Dr. Lea Ybarra at 278-5303
or Dr. Charles Rowins in Baltimore
at (410) 516-5303.
