Two RVGS Virtual Summer Institutes will be available to interested Roanoke Valley Governor’s School students this summer. These are non-credit bearing optional summer enrichment opportunities.
Students may participate in one or both of the institutes. There is no commitment to complete all sessions, but students who do will receive a certificate of completion and can list themselves as a participant in the institute on future resumes.
Two options are offered: “RVGS Biomedical Science Summer Institute” and “RVGS Leadership Summer Institute”
Both programs will be fully online.
To complete a program, the student will participate in a series of eight sessions, hosted by RVGS faculty and professionals from the appropriate fields.
Lectures will be conducted in real-time, with recordings available after. Either viewing option is accepted for completion, but real-time attendance is encouraged.
Enrollment in advance is not required, but students planning to participate should join the appropriate Remind group(s):
