We are excited to share that HVCC’s Summer 2024 College in the High School registration will open this coming Monday, April 29th @ 9 a.m.! As we approach this opening of registration, we would like to share key information to assist your students in beginning the enrollment process:
Summer CIHS Course Offerings
Ahead of Monday’s registration opening, your students may view the courses that will be offered for Summer 2024 College in the High School students by visiting our Summer CIHS Courses Page. Here, they will be able to preview course offerings, review class descriptions, and note modalities for the courses offered.
The summer courses page also includes important resource information such as our Registration Calendar denoting key dates for summer courses, directions on how to register, and more.
Voyager Registration System
Beginning this summer term, students will complete registration via our new online registration system, Voyager*. Voyager will be the one-stop hub for all parts of the registration process including: registration requests, Certificate of Residence submission, obtaining HVCC credentials, and more. From there, you as the school guidance contacts will be able to review and approve the course requests.
While your students are able to access the link to Voyager right now, the ability to submit an application for summer classes will not go live until Monday, April 29th @ 9 a.m. At that point, they will be able to review specific course sections, modalities of said courses, request enrollment. Should you or your students have any questions about registering via Voyager, you can visit our Voyager Information Center for step-by-step guides on key steps in the enrollment process, along with answers to many Frequently Asked Questions.
*Note: the following special programs will not be using the Voyager system, but will continue to register using SRI forms:
- Albany Smart Scholars
- Ballston Spa PTECH
- Cohoes Future Ready Pathways
- STEM High School
- Troy Smart Scholars
Scholarship for all CIHS Students
Once again this year, the college is awarding full-tuition scholarships for up to eight credits to all students in our College in the High School sections for Summer 2024. This means that all students will receive a scholarship to cover the cost of tuition (up to eight credits), plus free textbooks.
Finally, later this afternoon I will forward the message that has been sent to students who requested to join our mailing list. It is very similar in format to this, but catered to their specific needs. Please feel free to share that email with parents and students within your district to spread the word.
We hope you have a nice weekend, and look forward to serving you and your students when registration opens on Monday, April 29th! If you have any questions, please contact us at cihs@hvcc.edu.

SSOAR Program
~Students Sharing Opportunities and Responsibilities~
Saratoga Hospital Volunteer Services Department
Started nearly twenty years ago, SSOAR is a unique summer youth program offered at Saratoga Hospital. Open to rising high school juniors and seniors, SSOAR provides the opportunity for students to achieve community service hours while volunteering in a healthcare setting. Annual announcement and application instructions are on the Saratoga Hospital website, published in area newspapers, and emailed to surrounding high schools in early February. Interested students of at least 16 years of age may submit completed applications and will be contacted by email to set up an interview. Following a successful interview, potential SSOAR participants will complete a health assessment and attend a mandatory SSOAR Orientation held end of June. The Orientation includes the teaching of proper wheelchair usage, a Hospital tour, and an overview of Hospital policies and procedures. Students will receive their SSOAR assignments along with service guidelines, supervisor contact, badge, and vest. Students will serve at least 48 hours, generally volunteering 2 four hour shifts for six weeks. SSOAR concludes at the end of August with evaluation forms sent to those who finish the program. Upon receipt of evaluation, student and their guidance counselor receive a Letter of Commendation. This letter verifies total hours, area served, and cites specific accomplishments. SSOAR students may stay on to become regular volunteers or, if rising juniors, may be interested in serving the next summer. This program has proven to be valuable for area students, the Hospital, patients and staff, and for our greater Saratoga community.

Boston University Summer Journalism Academy
Dear Colleague:
Do you have a student who is up for a fresh challenge?
For those who are thinking about a career in communications, enjoy writing or are a visual storyteller, we have just the thing: the Boston University Summer Journalism Academy.
Hosted by Boston University College of Communication, the Summer Journalism Academy offers high school the experience to learn the core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing. Students will:
- Learn from award-winning, working journalists
- Report on actual events around Boston or (for learn-from-home students) their hometown
- Improve their writing, interviewing, and research skills – applicable for any major and career
Students are challenged to step outside their comfort zone – and experience life as a working journalist. They learned how to interview strangers, ask probing questions, and assemble it in a concise story on deadline.
Our on-campus, residential program for three weeks offers students:
- Meet with Boston University's representative to discuss the college admissions process,
- Explore what it's like living in a residence hall and studying in a university environment, and
- Experience Boston museums, historical sites, and neighborhoods during free time.
Visual storytellers can apply for our three-week in-person photojournalism program where they will learn from former Boston Globe photographer, Stephen Haines.
Do you know students who would be a good fit for the Summer Journalism Academy? Please encourage them to learn more by visiting Summer Journalism and apply soon, as spots are limited. We review applications on a rolling basis and provide a decision within two to three weeks.
If your student is accepted to our program and pay their registration fee in full by March 8, they will receive a special discount of $400 off the in-person tuition and $200 off tuition for our virtual program.
Sincerely,

Rensselaer
We are excited to share information with you about the 2024 PREFACE Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute!

This year’s program will take place in-person, Sunday, July 28 through Saturday, August 10, 2024 (2 weeks), on the Rensselaer campus in Troy, NY.
The PREFACE Program is for students who will be entering the 11th or 12th grade in the fall. Interested candidates should review the information on the PREFACE website and complete the online application.
Completed applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. ET on April 19, 2024. Notifications will be made to accepted students in early May.

Skidmore College
Skidmore College’s The Young Scholars Cell Biology Institute (YSCBI) is a free summer day program incorporating a multi-disciplinary approach to introducing the next generation of students to new fields of biology they may have never considered before. In past years, we have had lectures and labs on topics such as genomics, AI, microscopy, environmental science, neuroscience, biochemistry, and more. The program is segmented into several lectures and labs daily for students to explore their interests, as well as time for counselor coordinated activities, like an Environmental Science walk through Skidmore College’s 150 acres of wooded forest called Northwoods. One of the highlights of the program is allowing students to have hands-on experiences with true high technology, such as confocal, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy, at Skidmore’s Microscopy Imaging Center (SMIC). Other highlights include hands on experiments with experts in the field and a tour of the Tang Teaching Museum. To learn more about what our program entails, please visit our website here and our Instagram account, @young_scholars_cell_bio.
The program runs as a day camp from 8:45 am until 4:45 pm daily from Monday, July 8th until Friday, July 12th, 2024. Students will begin and end their days in Skidmore Microscopy Imaging Center (SMIC) and be picked up at the entrance of the Center for Integrated Sciences (CIS). In order to make this program as accessible as possible to students of all backgrounds, the entire program will be free of charge, including daily free lunches. Students are only responsible for determining transportation to and from campus on their own. This program is primarily for students entering their sophomore or junior year of high school; however, we encourage all high school students to apply. Over the 4 years the YSCBI has been active, we have impacted the lives of over 50 individuals in the Saratoga region. This year, as it is our final year, will be highly selective as we plan to only admit 16 individuals. To increase the likelihood of acceptance, we suggest applying early, as applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications close exactly 3 months from today on May 6th, 2024, at 8:00 am.
To apply to the Young Scholars Cell Biology Institute, we request that each student fills out an application and submits a letter of recommendation from a science teacher, an advisor, or a guidance counselor to the program. Applications will only be reviewed once both the application, and the letter of recommendation are received by the YSCBI. The letters of recommendation should be submitted directly from the recommender to Professor Domozych at ddomoz@skidmore.edu and include a description of why the student should be accepted into the program. The applications will be reviewed by myself, Professor Domozych, and the staff of YSCBI. Students are also requested to fill out a photo consent form upon acceptance.
