Scientific Enrichment and Opportunity

Mayor Frank G. Jackson gave brief remarks to 29 students participating in the High School Scientific Enrichment and Opportunity Program at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland.

The Scientific Enrichment and Opportunity Program at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is designed to provide high school students from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District with a unique opportunity to engage in medical research projects under the direction of medical school faculty during the summers after their 10th and 11th grade years, as well as, during the 11th and 12th grade school years.

This research experience is intended to enhance student’s interests in the biomedical sciences, provide them with unparalleled professional experience in the sciences, and bring them into contact with the School of Medicine’s faculty for both academic and career mentoring. The students were accompanied by their program mentors and family members.
