The Outstanding Scholar Awards ceremony of the Advanced Studies program at Genesee Community College will be held on Tuesday, June 3, in the Stuart Steiner Theatre at 7 pm bringing together some of the best and brightest young adults in the area.
Advanced Studies is part of the College’s ACE program, or Accelerated College Enrollment, and allows high school students the opportunity to earn college credit from Genesee while attending class within their high school. High school teachers approved as Genesee adjunct faculty teach all Advanced Studies courses. Some of the most enterprising young students earn enough transferable Advanced Studies credit to enter their first year of college as sophomores.
“The Advanced Studies program allows students to make the most of the junior and senior high school years,” Ed Levinstein, Associate Dean of the ACE Program said. “They lighten their academic load of classes in their freshman year of college, and also save significantly in tuition costs.”
The 48 students were selected as semi-finalists in the five subject areas of mathematics, science, social science, foreign language, and English. A committee of academic professionals from Genesee Community College will be selecting the finalists this month and announcing them at the June 3 reception.
The following students were selected as semi-finalists, and are listed by subject area and local school district.
