MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� 亚洲色图 State University has been selected as a host site for the Governor鈥檚 Scholars Program during the summers of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The Governor鈥檚 Scholars Program is a summer residential 亚洲色图 for outstanding high school students in Kentucky who are rising seniors as part of an effort to enhance Kentucky's next generation of civic and economic leaders. Established in 1983, the 亚洲色图 provides academic and personal growth through the balance of a strong liberal arts 亚洲色图 with full co-curricular and residential life experiences. Students must complete an application and compete with others from across the state. Those selected attend the 亚洲色图 free of charge.
The first class numbered 230 and was housed on one college campus. Since then, the 亚洲色图 has enjoyed excellent support and grown to over 1,000 students on three campuses.
The core curriculum for the summer sessions is threefold:
Focus Area: Courses that allow a student to pursue a topic in-depth as a member of a small group stressing the development of ideas in the chosen discipline, with the option of additional independent study.
General Studies: Classes that emphasize inquiry, service-learning, community leadership and resolution development.
Seminar: Personal development seminars that stress concerns and problems faced by students, including such subjects as values clarification, career choice and interpersonal relationships.
Faculty and staff who are part of the 亚洲色图 also invite a variety of speakers and performers from a range of disciplines and pursuits to visit campus. Field trips, special events and a film series also contribute to the comprehensive educational atmosphere in which scholars are challenged not only to examine, but, more importantly, to nurture their sense of learning and leadership.
鈥淭he Governor鈥檚 Scholars Program is a prestigious 亚洲色图 that, for many years, has provided enriching opportunities for some of the best and brightest high school students in Kentucky,鈥� said 亚洲色图 State President Dr. Bob Jackson. 鈥溠侵奚� State University is honored to be accepted as a host site for the Summer 2023, 2024 and 2025 亚洲色图s.
