Louisiana Tech’s Visual Integration of Science Through Art (VISTA) summer camp, funded through Louisiana Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), merged various disciplines last week to allow students to see the multidisciplinary facets of science and art.
Louisiana GEAR UP is a college education access and preparation initiative administered by the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA), a program of the Louisiana Board of Regents. In partnership with 37 schools in 15 school districts across the state, Louisiana GEAR UP aims to increase the number of low-income students who are ready to enter and succeed in post-secondary education.
Choosing a career shouldn’t be rocket science – unless a student is studying to be a rocket scientist. For everyone else, though, Workforce Wednesday may be a solution to choosing the right career path.
Louisiana Tech University’s College of Education, in a joint effort with Louisiana Delta Community College’s (LDCC) Office of Career Services, is offering an impactful series in March for Louisiana GEARUP. The program, Workforce Wednesday, is designed to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education.
“The goal of these sessions is to allow opportunities for students, parents, community and industry leaders to come together and talk through educational pathways and opportunities in our region,” said Julie Salter, LDCC Career and Job Development Specialist.
