Perfect for prospective government and politics majors! Begin your program in the classroom, learning the basics of political theory and government. Then take advantage of Suffolk University’s unique location just behind the Massachusetts State House and around the corner from City Hall by applying what you learned through experiential learning opportunities in each of these levels of government.

Student Leadership Development and Service Learning Institute

What does it take to become an emerging leader? Students will learn valuable skills necessary to rise up to the challenges of leading others in this intense program. Students will participate in group activities and seminars covering a broad range of leadership skills, including: Teamwork, Group Conflict, Communication, Diversity, Event Planning, and more. Students will also have the opportunity to partake in service learning opportunities in the Boston-area, applying what they have learned to serve others.

GLBT Awareness Institute

During this summer program, which is unique to Suffolk University, students will have the opportunity to connect with other GLBT youth and develop a greater understanding of their GLBT identity.  Daily workshops will include such topics as GLBT history, queer theory, homosexuality and religion, pop culture, coming out in college, gender identity, knowing your resources and more. Students will also participate in some workshops with students from the Student Leadership Development Institute to foster personal growth in leadership skills.

Institute for the Empowerment of Women of Color

This institute presents the accomplishments, talents and issues faced by women of color in a supportive learning environment that extends beyond the class room. This institute will provide the participants the opportunity to develop and sharpen their leadership skills, in hopes of developing leaders who will go on to become effective decision making change agents in the future within any profession. The goal is to analyze barriers that affect women’s access to leadership and assist young women in envisioning ways to challenge the obstacles. We will also explore the demands of leadership in a diverse society and enable women to practice their leadership skills with a variety of hands on experiences.  The mission of the Institute is to encourage scholarship, leadership, cross-cultural awareness, and spiritual well being as key elements to achieving empowerment.

Screenwriting & Video Production Institute

Do you dream of being a director, producer or writer of film and television? Do you have ideas for scripts, but don’t know how to bring them to fruition? The Screenwriting and Video Production Institute will bring you through the three stages of film and video creation: Pre-production, production and post-production. This hands-on approach will give students the background needed to pursue a degree in directing, acting and writing. Students will learn how to brainstorm ideas, research topics, write a script, shoot and edit video. Our focus for this program will be creating a narrative critiquing body image in media. This production can take any form and it is up to your creative talents to make this narrative materialize, with the guidance of two experienced faculty.  There is no need to have a background in video production or scriptwriting. It requires that you have an interest and passion for the creative process.

Business Organization & Leadership Institute

From the boardroom to the classroom, this is the ideal summer institute for students who want an introduction to the fundamentals of business practices in Boston, New England’s business and financial epicenter.  We’ll start off with "Breakfast in the Boardroom" visiting local business executives and then return to our internationally recognized Business School to review core business topics such as: accounting, marketing, management, finance and leadership.  Group work will be emphasized as students prepare final presentations for a panel of local business executives.  Perfect for future business majors!

Improv Comedy Workshop

“Think You’re Funny?!?”  Spend two weeks in Boston this summer learning the art of Improvisation.  You will work with acting and comic professionals in the Boston area.  During your stay, you will hone your skills while working in small and large groups, develop your own comic timing, develop quick wit and form an Improv Troupe.  Your troupe will perform for your fellow participants and others guests at Suffolk, and perhaps in the Greater Boston Area!  Suffolk University’s improve comedy troupe – Seriously Bent – has won the Boston Area College Improv Championships two years in a row!  No previous comedic or theatrical experience necessary.  Everyone with an open-mind and a creative spirit is welcome to participate.
