High School Opportunities

Motivated sophomores and juniors who are considering medical school will benefit from the Pre-College Exposure Academy that is sponsored by University of Michigan's Health System's Office for Health Equity and Inclusion. The two-week program, which is limited to only 50 students, offers participants a unique exposure to various health professions. Students will learn what it takes to be successful in a healthcare career, receive one-on-one mentoring, take tours of medical facilities and the U of M Medical School, and take college prep courses essential to careers in health science.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) wants to see more minority students enter the fields of science and engineering, so each summer it hosts the prestigious Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES) program. The rigorous six-week program is the perfect intro to these fields, offering students fun, fellowship, a taste of college, and classes on such topics as calculus, biochemistry, and physics, to name but a few.

This unique opportunity offered by the Monell Center is actually an internship. Available to both high school students and undergrads, the program pairs participants up with full-time researchers to offer the extraordinary opportunity to take part in hands-on research training, learn to communicate in a professional scientific environment, and to increase appreciation of the chemical senses, all while earning a weekly salary. Past interns have taken part in research on cloning olfactory receptors, investigating flavor preferences of infants, and studying air quality, to name a few.
