LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TO GET UNIQUE LOOK AT U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY WHILE ATTENDING FAST-PACED SUMMER SEMINAR

Connor Gauvin, a junior at New Hope-Solebury High School, will participate in the 2011 U.S. Naval Academy Summer Seminar program in Annapolis, Maryland. The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) invited a select group of approximately 2,250 young men and women from around the nation and internationally to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar program this year. Summer Seminar is a fast-paced experience for high achievers who have completed their junior year in high school and are considering applying for admission to USNA after graduation.

Summer Seminar teaches prospective applicants about life at the Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training play equally important roles in developing our nation's leaders. Each student will attend a six-day session and experience a part of USNA life. Students in the program live in Bancroft Hall (the dormitory in which all USNA midshipmen live), eat in the dining hall, participate in academic and leadership workshops and participate in daily physical training involving group runs and conditioning exercises. They will have an opportunity to see first-hand what the Naval Academy has to offer through its exceptional academic, athletic, extracurricular activities and leadership training programs.
