Wanted:
Mentors
As more schools
participate in Intel, the competition for mentors gets tougher
>>> Can your lab or university mentor a Bronx
Science student? <<<
Each year about 80 students enter the Bronx Science research program, a
3-year sequence that provides motivated kids with in-depth experience
doing research. After a year spent reading professional papers in
their area of interest and learning basic research techniques, the
students select a topic for a long-term project.
We need your help finding great mentors for about 20 sophomores now
embarking on their research. Physical science and biology students need
access to sophisticated labs and dynamite scientists; they commit to
working two summers at the mentor's institution. High quality
social science and math mentors are also in demand.
Got ideas? Contacts? Email or call Dr. Jean Donahue at
jdonahu@schools.nyc.gov or (718) 817-7714.

about even if
your child is Freshman. Students use it to register for classes
and for help with collges. All students have accounts and parents
have access also either through your child's account or (limited) as a
guest. Your child should have information on how you can access Naviance.
