This interdisciplinary program introduces students to the essential academic, social, and cognitive skills needed for success in college. Throughout the week, participants explore core liberal arts areas, including academic writing, psychology, digital literacy, environmental science, and sociology. Students engage in collaborative projects, guided workshops, team-building activities, and structured discussions that strengthen communication, critical thinking, paraphrasing, and analytical skills. They also examine real-world issues such as poverty, global challenges, misinformation, and mental health through videos, group discussions, and reflective writing. Students will also practice the responsible use of AI for research, writing, and critical thinking, and examine issues such as AI bias, misinformation, and digital citizenship. By the end of the program, each participant will lead a discussion on a topic of their choice from the liberal arts themes explored during the week, demonstrating their ability to analyze information, communicate effectively, and apply college-level academic skills in a supportive learning environment.
