RamReel: A Word With Camp YEHS! Summer 2010

Sixteen middle school students from the Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point areas participated in a free School of Health Sciences summer program aimed at boosting the number of people of color and males entering health science careers.

WSSU's Youth Exploring Health Sciences (Camp YEHS!) Summer Camp is a two-week enrichment program for rising ninth-grade students from underrepresented populations. It is designed to educate, prepare and enhance their academic qualifications for careers in nursing and the health science professions. The program included a two-week residency on campus at WSSU and an opportunity to shadow a health care professional in the community. The program also included guided career facilitation sessions and a post-mentorship experience. The free program, sponsored by a North Carolina Glaxo Smith Kline Foundation grant, ran from July 14 through July 23.
