For the past 28 years Clemson University has offered a summer enrichment program for gifted middle and high school students. In addition to challenging courses, the students experience a university setting, fun and fellowship.

Tryon Area Association of University Women (AAUW) has sponsored sending promising rising 9th through 10th grade girls from Polk County and Landrum High schools to the Summer Science and Academic Enrichment Program at Clemson.

Greg Linke, the director of program development, will be speaking about the program and its relation to Tryon AAUW at Tryon Presbyterian Church on Monday, September 27 at 1 p.m.

The five girls who attended the program this past summer will also give a brief synopsis of their experience. They are Ariana Jackson, Alyssa Walker, Savanna Bowyer, Kasey Marshall and Elisabeth Walker from Polk County and Landrum High Schools.

The program is open to the public and refreshments will be served.
