PRE-COLLEGE WORKSHOPS
PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH
Explore various health issues including substance use, access to
care, nutrition, and more through the lens of public health research,
evidence-based practice, and evaluation. Through partnerships with
community organizations and faculty, you will assess community
needs, create a research question, critically analyze different types of
data, and communicate findings. This workshop is ideal for students
interested in public health, social sciences, biology, life sciences,
pre-med, health professions, and more.
RACE AT THE BORDERS OF EUROPE
Confront the pressing questions of race and migration in modern
society, with a particular focus on Italy, with this workshop offered
live from Temple’s Rome campus. From classic Greeks and Romans,
who saw themselves under siege by the “barbarian hordes,” to
contemporary America and its war on “extremism,” Western
societies have repeatedly represented groups of people as threats to
civilization. What is behind this impulse to divide the world into “us”
and “them”? How is it bound up with our understanding of race and
racial difference? And what happens when the “barbarian hordes”
talk back?
RISK MANAGEMENT AND ACTUARIAL ANALYTICS FOR THE
MODERN WORLD
Risks are ever-present and growing in the world, yet where there
exists risk, there exists business opportunity. Learn about the
purpose of insurance and how risks such as natural catastrophe,
cybersecurity, financial market, and healthcare are being managed. In
addition, explore the mathematical analysis of risk using probability,
statistics, time value of money, and financial market tools.
SONGWRITING INTENSIVE
Use your creativity to compose songs using technology. Listen,
analyze, rearrange, reharmonize, and record original music. You will
learn how to use structure, melody, rhythm, and harmony to support
your lyrics and ideas in a variety of musical genres. After writing
original songs, each student will receive feedback from peers and
the instructor to improve their songwriting skills. You will also learn
how to use an online music sequence program. For high school
