Thirteen high school students with an interest in agriculture and science were recognized at the closing of this year’s Research Apprenticeship Program (RAP).

RAP is a two-week long program through the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences that invites rising high school juniors and seniors to undergo training and perform research activities with college faculty. Student participants were recognized and reflected on their experience in a closing ceremony on July 1.

Shirley Hymon-Parker, Ph.D., former associate dean for research, said the program is designed to be a recruitment initiative that introduces students to careers in the agricultural sciences, engage them in research and a sampling of college life.

This is the second year the program was held virtually due primarily to COVID.
