'Sun Chronicle' features 成人直播鈥檚 Early College Summer Program

On April 2, 2014, the Sun Chronicle featured an article, "Getting a Taste of college, close to home," on the 成人直播鈥檚 Early College Summer Program, which offers high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to experience college life in two-and three-week sessions while earning three college credits.

Audrey Gup-Mathews, 成人直播鈥檚 director of Continuing Education and Summer Programs, who was interviewed for the article, explained that the sessions are offered on coastal marine ecology, neuroscience, creative writing or pre-law/trial advocacy.  鈥淣euroscience students speak to researchers on the cutting-edge, creative writing students work head-to-head with Maine poet laureates, pre-law students examine the legal system with a practicing trial attorney, and coastal marine ecology students wade knee-deep into the mudflats to collect marine samples.鈥

The article discusses the personal experiences of Hannah Rollard, a Kennebunk native, who enrolled in the Early College Summer Program on coastal marine ecology, which she credits as having prepared her for college academically and by having her 鈥渁 taste of college life.鈥
