  • PhD students must be in good standing in their PhD program

Important Dates to consider...

The summer institute consists of two sections: a pre-institute where graduate fellows and teachers are separate from one another, and a summer institute where fellows and teachers are working together. This is a vital part of the Socrates program where fellows and teachers learn background material, get to know one another, and develop lesson plans for the coming school year. You must be able to commit to these dates! 

  • June 13 - July 13, 2012
