Two Trinity juniors and a freshman are in for exciting and educational summers.  Advanced Program counselor Dr. Aaron Striegel nominated the three students for their respective programs:

Trinity junior Cameron Barnett has been “selected to participate in the New Albany (Ind.) Entrepreneurship Academy; dates for the Academy are June 14 – 19.” According to his acceptance letter, Barnett was “one of just a handful of students selected from this region. Student selection was based on academic prowess, positive character and future potential for success.

“The Academy sponsored by Purdue University and Indiana University Southeast will offer a week-long course on entrepreneurship. On the final day of The Academy, teams will give a 15-minute pitch to a panel of judges in a business plan competition. Tuition vouchers will be awarded to Purdue University or Indiana University to the top three teams whose presentations are judged by college professors to have the best solid business strategy and potential for success.”

Trinity junior Jorge Allen Rojas-Ortega was selected to join

the 2015 MIT Online Science, Technology, and Engineering
