Summer Internship Program.
The summer Internship Program was an eclectic program designed to
provide students with a combination of academic classes (including SAT
preparation), work experience, reflections on the work experience counseling
and trips. High school faculty taught classes in Mathematics and
English Language Arts (combined with computer technology) two days per
week. Students report to their internship sites another two days
per week, and one day a week was devoted to trips, both educational
and entertaining. This four-week program also include electives
such as a book club, swimming, dance, and chess.
New York State GEAR UP Summer Residential Program. LaGuardia Community College/QUP GEAR UP participates in New York State GEAR UP's program for high school students to experience college life during a summer residential stay at six (6) colleges around the state. Students stayed in college dormitories and participated workshops and projects (e.g., essay writing, Internet college searches), attended "simulated college classes," and engaged in some recreational and social activities.
