Program to help high school students ‘MAP’ their academic future

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with the UC San Diego School of Medicine, has launched a new mentoring program designed to provide a pathway for high school student researchers to gain access to experts in their field of interest. The Mentor Assistance Program (MAP), scheduled to run from October 2015 to May 2016, is focused on creating mentoring relationships that will enhance students’ desire to learn, teach, and conduct research in a variety of humanities fields as well as areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
