Cedar Valley Science Symposium (CVSS) Saturday
Saturday January 17, 2009
CVSS is a one-day workshop designed to give science-, math-, and psychology-oriented high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to pursue, in depth, specific areas in contemporary science and mathematics. Each workshop, led by either a Wartburg College faculty member or a team of medical technologists from IACLS, consists of 6-12 students and the instructor. The structure is informal and encourages close interpersonal contacts. Each student participates in only one workshop. Interaction with other students and professors exposes the student to activities of other members of the Symposium. It is hoped that student participants will share their experiences and newly gained knowledge with their high school teachers and other students after the Symposium, and that they will feel free to interact further with CVSS professors and other student participants at a later date.
CVSS participants are encouraged to stay Saturday night in the residence halls with Wartburg science and math students. Some high school seniors may wish to consider competing in the Wartburg College Regents and Presidential Scholarship Programs, the first of which is being held Sunday January 18, 2009.
