ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ welcomed dozens of Alamance County high school scholars to campus midday Monday with a special College Coffee for students enrolled in the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Academy, an intensive three-year college access and success program for talented local teenagers with financial need or no family history of attending college.

Twenty-six high school students moved into campus Sunday, June 13, 2010 to participate in the Delta Class of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Academy, an academic enrichment and college access program that gives promising Alamance County students with no family history of higher education an opportunity to learn more about college.

Twenty-three rising sophomores from the Alamance-Burlington School System have been selected to join the fifth class of scholars in the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Academy, a college access and success program for academically talented students, on the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ campus.

Five high school students from the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Academy traveled to Seattle this spring for the Society for Applied Anthropology conference where they presented a research poster on how intersections of social location such as race, class, gender and sexuality can produce barriers to and opportunities for college access.
