nyehe logoPULLMAN, Wash – The Tribal Liaison’s Office at Washington State University is hosting its 14th annual Native Youth Exploring Higher Education (NY’EHE) summer camp July 12-15. Thirty-six Native American students entering ninth grade in the fall of 2012 will attend the four-day camp held on the WSU Pullman campus.
 
The camp is free for participants and has an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) areas of study.  A variety of workshops will focus on hands-on activities designed to engage and stimulate camp participants’ interest in STEM fields. Students also will gain the experience of living in a college environment, including sleeping in a residence hall with a roommate, eating at the dining facilities, utilizing the student recreation center, and engaging with current WSU students who serve as camp mentors.
 
Camp information is available at www.tribal-liaison.wsu.edu, 509-335-8618, or nyehe.coordinator@wsu.edu.
