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 fifth annual Prime the Pump college prep week.

Sunday brunch is from noon-1 p.m. Classes will begin at 1:30 p.m.
Monday-Thursday, breakfast is from 8 - 8:45 a.m., then off to classes and workshops. Lunch is at noon and dinner is at 5:30 p.m. Evening is reserved for study tables and followed by activities with the counselors.
Thursday, classes/workshops start at 9 a.m. and Prime the Pump is complete at noon.
