Teens Get a Peek into Public Health Careers - The CDC Disease Detective Camp is an academic day camp held at CDC's headquarters in Atlanta, GA. The camp is open to upcoming high school juniors and seniors who will be 16 years old by the first day of camp. Students interested in working in a team environment with other motivated students are encouraged to apply!
Over the course of five days, campers will take on the role of disease detectives and learn first-hand how the CDC safeguards the nation’s health. Attendees also learn the diversity of careers available in the field of public health and at CDC. Careers are explored as campers take on tasks associated with various jobs at CDC. Tasks are as varied as the careers covered - one morning might be spent learning the use of statistics in an outbreak investigation while the afternoon covers the importance of communication. Other activities may include lectures by CDC experts, a mock press conference in the CDC press room, an introduction to laboratory techniques used at CDC or a public heath law class taught with the Socratic Method. During the week core academics subjects are used-math, science, language arts- in fast-paced sessions designed to challenge participants. No prior knowledge about public health or epidemiology. http://www.cdc.gov/gcc/exhibit/camp.htm

Emory Pre-College Program

Emory’s summer Pre-College Program for high school students is now accepting applications. The Pre-College Program allows talented rising high school juniors and seniors to experience Emory’s distinctive academic and residential community.

The Pre-College experience can be transformational: both fun and academically focused. Students may enhance their academic portfolio and earn college credit in six-week undergraduate courses or enroll in two-week, non-credit courses for personal enrichment without the pressures of a grade.  All classes are taught by committed Emory faculty who enjoy teaching and guiding prospective college students. The topics and courses allow for self-discovery, the chance to explore a possible major or career field, or enjoy that heightened level of creative expression and exposure that's not always available in the high school curriculum.

Courses run from May 8 to August 6.
