The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts will host the second annual Summer Academy Monday through Friday, June 2-6. The Academy includes classes in poetry, psychology, art and design, geology, leadership development, film and many others to introduce high schoolers to the world of the liberal arts.  

Students can create a short film, make a ceramic bowl, learn to be a community leader, get psyched about psychology, write haikus and much more during this week of fun and learning. “We want to provide a fun and meaningful enrichment opportunity for young people who are thinking about their future and exploring college,” said Dr. Del Doughty, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. 

Registration is $150 for the week and includes activities, materials, food and drinks. Children of USI faculty and staff will receive a $25 discount on registration, and full scholarships are available to all participants based upon need. Drop off will be 8 to 8:30 a.m., and pick up will be 2 to 2:30 p.m. at the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center.
