2 . Ross Mathematics Program
The Ross Program is a summer experience designed for pre-college students.
Mission Statement
※At Ross. we provide students with a focused and supportive environment for mathematical exploration. We encourage mathematical cooperation and community building, instead of direct competition between students.
※At Ross, we want to create an environment that allows students to explore their relationships with mathematics, and we try to create an experience that allows students to explore mathematics deeply, to experience mathematics for themselves, and to share this exploration and joy with others.
Ross Staff
We have excellent counselors (辅导员) who are responsible for teaching mathematics, providing social and emotional support for students, and monitoring student safety. They are also responsible for being role models for students, and for developing a welcoming camp culture among the participants.
Program Dates
There will be two sites for the Ross Program:
※At Otterbein University in Columbus, OH. June 9 through July 19, 2024
※At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, June 16 through July 26, 2024
All participants typically live with a roommate in a campus dormitory.
Applying
※Pre-college students who are interested in mathematics are invited to apply. First-year students range in age from 15 to 18 years old, but in unique cases, younger or older students are accepted. We expect about 60 first-year students at each site.
Admission decisions are based on school performance, teacher recommendations, essays about the applicant’s interests and goals, and the applicant’s work on some challenging math problems.
The fee for attending the program is $7,000, though we’re able to provide financial aid for students who need financial assistance to attend the program. The student fee covers tuition, housing and meals.
