June 28-30, 2010
University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana

Welcome to the Illini Summer Academies! This 3-day event provides Illinois teens new opportunities to explore the University of Illinois campus; study potential careers or leadership skills; and meet youth from across the state.

In general, Academies are open to ANY Illinois youth who is currently in 8th to 12th grade. They must be an incoming high school freshman to graduating senior this summer and must fall within the 14-18 age range as of September 1, 2010. In addition, some of the academies have restricted their attendance to specific grade levels due to science class requirements. Those restrictions are listed below by the specific Academies.

All academies will take place on 3 days in late June on the University of Illinois campus in Champaign/Urbana. Delegates will live in college dormitories and have opportunities to tour the campus. This is a live-in academy; delegates will not be allowed to commute to the campus for daily activities. Joint activities for all delegates will be scheduled for each evening, as well as an opening and closing session, offering delegates a chance to meet and socialize with teens attending different academies and from across the state. A formal banquet is also scheduled for one evening of the event.

Information on the 2010 Illini Summer Academies is coming! Check back soon. Registration opens March 1.
