In spite of recent global events concerning COVID-19, students from The Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky have continued summer learning in virtual internships, reimagined programs and, in some cases, in-person at WKU, around the Commonwealth, and around the globe.
In addition to prestigious research internships through the National Science Foundation (NSF) and internships through The Gatton Academy’s new public-private partnership program, the Gatton Sponsored Internship Program, this summer also features virtual study abroad opportunities.
“Gatton Academy students actively seek opportunities to continue their learning and contribute to their communities year-round. This summer is no different as they are continuing research and internships online, learning critical languages, and working in family businesses and local grocery stores,” director Dr. Lynette Breedlove said. “I admire our students’ dedication as they contribute to local economies, as well as state and national scientific advances.”
