ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú invites New London County residents entering grades 6–9, with an interest in science, health, and wellness, to enroll in a summer program on campus, July 7–18.
HCA Rising, a pre-academy program designed to foster an early interest in healthcare fields, is part of the ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú Healthcare Academy (HCA) for New London County high school students.
HCA Rising offers middle school students an opportunity to explore the connection between STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and healthcare careers through fun and engaging activities:
- Hands-on science experiments
- Fun physical activities like dance, theater, and athletics
- Field trips to ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú Woods and ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú Beach
- Small group sizes for personalized learning
- Engaging weekly themes like ‘Sensory Science: The Five Senses & Environmental Science & Wellness’
ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú is committed to addressing our state’s workforce needs and diversifying the healthcare employment pipeline, and to making education more accessible while serving the needs of our community. As part of this effort, the HCA will provide students with unique opportunities to learn about pathways to healthcare careers, including ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú’s new Nursing program leading to a BSN.
Students can enroll in HSA Rising for one or two weeks for $100 per week, July 7–11, July 14–18, or both. Aftercare is available for a nominal fee. Deadline to register extended to June 30, 2025.
