Class offerings could include anything from “Rock Body Boot camp,” a class offered at Stanford University, to “Scuba Rescue Diving,” one of the University of California at Santa Cruz’s offerings, to “African Dance,” a Wellesley class...
...Dmitry Taubinsky ’09 at the Research Science Institute sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education held at MIT. She also bumped into Neal Wadhwa ’09 at the Intel Science Talent Search and Shrenik N. Shah ’09 at Stanford University’s Adventures of the Mind. But when spring rolled around, Harris soon found herself without any female colleagues. “Second semester, it was just me,” Harris says. Chung, now enrolled in Math 122, says she decided to switch to Math...
