Prepare to do Your Best in the Sciences!
Starting college classes, especially those in the sciences, can be a bit daunting. College-level science classes have a different level of challenges and expectations from faculty than perhaps you are used to in high school.
To help you prepare for an outstanding start to your college career this fall, the faculty in the Colleges of Sciences, Pharmacy, and Health Professions would like to invite you to participate in the University's fourth annual Prime the Pump week-long college prep week.
There will be two groups this year for Prime the Pump—one for the 6 days for the math and science students. They will be moving in Wed. morning (Aug. 7th) beginning at 9:00 AM on campus and begin classes by 11:00 AM. These students have 5 days (Aug. 7th-9th and Aug. 13th-14th) with the science and math faculty members and then one day (Aug. 14th) with the Student Success and the English faculty.
On Tuesday (August 13th), beginning at 3:00 PM, the students joining for only the Student Success & English faculty portion of Prime the Pump will move into their dorm rooms and then have a pizza party starting 5:30 PM with activities and games to follow
100% of all participants would choose to attend again if given the option and 100% recommend that others attend.
