Register Now For UVI’s Summer Education Program

ST. CROIX – A wide range of  educational programs and camps will be offered this summer by the University of the Virgin Islands.

The program – which begins in June – is open to students, teachers and the general community and will offer everything from math and science to research and leadership development.

“We are extremely excited about our summer 2015 program offerings with a number of new programs being introduced this year,” said Dr. Tonjia Coverdale, director of UVI Summer Programs. “There is something for everyone ranging from elementary-aged through senior citizens.”

New this year is a five-week Cyber Camp VI, a program for students in grades six  to 12 interested in learning basic cyber security concepts.  Students in the program will become eligible to join the next round of The Cyber Patriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition in fall 2015.  The competition is sponsored by the U.S. Air Force Association.

During the summer camp students will be introduced to basic cyber security concepts and hands-on activities required for the competition. Speakers from academia, cyber industries and Sandia National Laboratories will discuss various issues related to cyber security.

This program is funded by a grant from the U.S.Department of Energy in collaboration with Norfolk State University. The Cyber Camp will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Monday, June 1 through Friday, July 3, on the St. Thomas Campus.

The UVI summer schedule will also feature college preparatory programs, undergraduate and graduate academic sessions, and a teacher training program.
