About

The Black 14 Social Justice Summer Institute is a multi-day overnight program that provides rising junior and senior high school students with the opportunity to research contemporary issues related to and important to the Black community at the local, state, national, and world-wide levels. At the same time, the institute strives to have a positive impact on the college completion rate of Black students. The six-year college completion rate for Black students is 38 percent when nationally 54.8 percent of all college students complete college within six years. The Black 14 Social Justice Summer Institute will introduce you to curricular and co-curricular engagement opportunities. Selected participants will live in the residence halls and dine on campus. Information will be provided to support admissions, registration, and financing a college education, while experiencing the culture and natural environment of Wyoming.
