Hanover College

If you've ever wanted to experience college life while still in high school, then Hanover's Summer Academy program is the perfect opportunity. Our respected professors teach a wide range of subjects that will engage and expand your interests as well as deepen your knowledge.

Summer Academy Institute DATES: June 11-16, 2017

Spend a week exploring the ecology of southeastern Indiana with Biology Professor Darrin Rubino. Carved by the ice ages, with rolling hills, forested bluffs, dramatic ravines and the Ohio River Valley, southeastern Indiana is one of the most biologically diverse and geologically interesting areas of the state. You will be able to assess the environmental quality of our local creeks and streams, investigate climate using tree ring analysis, learn to identify our local flora, fauna (and their behavior) and have a great experience doing so in our state-of-the-art laboratories. You'll also travel to local forests, including an old growth forest. Using the tools of modern science to study the natural world, the week will culminate in a science scholars’ symposium where you'll have the opportunity to present your findings.
