Promoting Excellence Project    

     Our goal for the fall of 2004 is to introduce another working group, focusing on students capable of the highest levels of academic achievement.   This project will address efforts by our institutions to recruit high achieving underrepresented students and then to ensure that they are appropriately challenged in college and prepared for leadership in their communities and professions following graduation.  The proposed program will focus on science, math and other quantitative disciplines.  We plan to seek funding for implementation of a program across institutions this fall. 

      Institutions currently involved in the planning phase of this project include Bates College, Bowdoin College, Bryn Mawr College, College of the Holy Cross, Oberlin College, Smith College, and Trinity College.
