Summer Enrichment Program Overview
The Four Summer Enrichment Experiences - Wilderness Leadership, Social Justice, Global Inquiry, and Professional Venture - offer Hesburgh-Yusko Scholars unparalleled opportunities to develop and explore passions outside of the classroom.
We believe that self-discovery and leadership development should not stop at the end of the academic year. Each Scholar receives funding for four summers to complete this journey toward becoming a transformational leader, and each one tailors the Summer Enrichment experience to fit his or her interests and long-term goals. Program staff works with Scholars to realize their aspirations for these experiences.
During these summers, Scholars will meet and learn from people with vastly different life experiences. They will travel the world. They will learn to persevere through challenges and obstacles, and even failure. They will discover new interests, refine lifelong pursuits, identify passions and lay the groundwork for future careers.
