College Fairs, Open Houses, Tours, Summer Programs, and more
Take the opportunity to meet with admission representatives from major universities across the U.S. These are golden chances to market yourself to the schools of your choice. Through various organizations and through the generosity of many institutions, campus visits are available to interested students. And, you don't have to be a senior to visit a particular institution.

• Summer Camp Info: Summer is just five weeks away, which means parents are desperately seeking last-minute ideas on how to amuse and enrich their kids this summer. You can help by telling them about SuperCamp, a dynamic and engaging learning and life skills camp that helps kids raise their grades, confidence and motivation. As we like to say, kids love it and parents love the results. SuperCamp will be held at 8 U.S. locations. There are three student programs: a 10-day Senior Forum for students entering grades 9-12 in the fall, a 10-day Junior Forum for those entering grades 6-8, and Quantum U, an innovative 8-day college boot camp for incoming college freshmen. All programs are residential, meaning participants live on campus. If you have some way of reaching out to the parents of your students with this information, I know that the parents will thank you for it. They can learn more about SuperCamp by visiting the website at http://www.SuperCamp.com.

• The Chicago Regional Chapter of ASM is sponsoring a hands-on introduction to engineering, ASM Materials Camp. We are looking for students entering their junior or senior year of high school this fall to enroll in our award winning program. This year's Camp will be held the week of June 23-28 and the hose site is IIT where the students meet on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday they will be assigned to a team and a business or university (IIT) that specializes in forensic science. During this time they will be given a project with the goal of figuring out why the component or system failed. On Saturday they will present their failure analysis to parents, other teams and ASM members. The cost to the student is nothing, all that we ask is that they provide their own transportation to IIT and the business they will be assigned to.
