May 4, 2010 - Sixth-grader Ryan Guo has been selected to participate in the ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp (BHSSC) at RPI from June 13-25. Ryan submitted an essay to the BHSSC that explained how interested he was to have an opportunity to participate in such an exciting experience. It is safe to say when Ryan found out he was selected, he was quite happy.

“I just started jumping up and down,” Ryan said. “Most of my summers are pretty boring. Now, I have the chance to do something fun and challenging.”

The ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp (BHSSC) is a free, academic program of The Harris Foundation, which takes an active role in shaping education in students entering grade six, seven, or eight in the fall of 2010. This camp was originally developed as a collaborative effort of the Harris Foundation, the Houston Independent School District, the University of Houston (UH) and the Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU), designed to support historically underserved and underrepresented students.
