Summer Academy Testimonial
"My daughter, Addi (right in picture), enrolled in CLA Summer Academy and absolutely loved it! She had the best time and not only that, but you just won a victory for me and for you, because now my child is interested in attending USI. While I've been working on that myself; I couldn't possibly have gotten her interest spiked the way that you did, and now she wants to audit a class on ceramics, if possible."
- Kristi Hape, Assistant Professor of Occupational Therapy.
Check out Summer Academy 2024
Last year, twenty-one students from high schools in Indiana and Kentucky gathered for the College of Liberal Arts inaugural CLA Summer Academy Day Camp Monday, June 3 – Friday, June 7, 2024. The Academy included classes in creative writing, psychology, art and design, leadership development and much more that introduced high schoolers to the world of the liberal arts.
