2014 DO-IT Scholars Summer Study Program
Calleese Henderson of Vancouver is participating in the 2014 DO-IT Scholars Summer Study Program for 10 days at The University of Washington’s Seattle campus. The program — which stands for Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology — selects scholars with disabilities, and who wish to pursue higher education, to stay on campus and learn about college life, academic programs, and how to be mentors to students. The students learn about careers in fields including science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
