July Experience @ Davidson College

A pre-college, 3-week academic enrichment program at Davidson College

July Experience is a pre-college summer enrichment program for rising high school junior and seniors offered June 30-July 21, 2012.  The program is sponsored by Davidson College and offers a preview of college life on one of the most beautiful residential campuses in the Southeast.

Academics
Students enroll in two courses representing two different subject areas selected from several liberal arts disciplines.  Classes meet for 90-minute periods each weekday with additional laboratory sessions in selected courses.  Professors develop strong relationships with students and are available to meet them outside of class to enhance understanding or pursue additional interests.

Students will receive certificates and their secondary schools will be notified of successfully completed courses.  Coursework is graded on the following system:  H (Honors), P (Pass), and F (Failure).

Summer 2012 offerings include:

Off-campus trips have included:

• US National Whitewater Center
• Carowinds Theme Park
• Blumenthal Performing Arts Center
• The Mint Museum
• Discovery Place Science Museum
• Birkdale Village shopping, dining, cinemas
  

Activities also include programs on understanding the college admission process and developing your leadership style.

Campus Life
July Experience students live on single-sex corridors in a co-ed residence hall.  All college buildings, including residence halls, are air-conditioned.  Students take meals in the Vail Commons dining facility and have full access to the E. H. Little Library.  The Alvarez College Union, Baker Sports Complex, and nearby Lake Campus are centers for recreational and group activities.

Hall Counselors are upper class students chosen from the Davidson College student body. Hall Counselors assist students in any way possible and are responsible for ensuring that students are aware of and abide by the rules of the program.

The program is designed for mature, responsible, and academically motivated rising high school juniors and seniors capable of self-discipline.  

The Honor Code
July Experience students take full responsibility for upholding the Davidson College Honor Code, which states:

"Every student shall be honor bound to refrain from cheating (including plagiarism), stealing, lying about official college business, and to report immediately all violations of the Honor Code which come under his or her observation; failure to do so shall be a violation of the Honor Code.  Every student found guilty of a violation shall ordinarily be dismissed from the college/program."
