Program Adds New 鈥業nnovation Challenge鈥 to Bring Classroom and Community Engagement Together

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥The Honors Experience at 秀色短视频-Webb University is a one-week college immersion for academically gifted and talented students who are currently in the ninth- through 11th-grade. Scheduled for July 17-22, students will engage in two credit-bearing college courses while living in the residence hall, eating in the cafeteria and attending chapel.

Now in its fifth year, the program is adding an “Innovation Challenge,” a collaborative activity that will bring the classroom and community engagement together. Before they arrive, students will receive a prompt related to a problem affecting the community. When they come to campus, they will be divided into teams to work together on creating solutions.

鈥淥ur goal is to ignite a heart for service and give the tools to renew culture, bless people, and grow in leadership in their community,鈥 noted Robbie Gaines, associate minister to the University for Community Engagement & Athletic Ministries.
