This summer, Truman welcomed more than 600 pre-college students to campus for multiple programming options. One of the most popular summer options, the Joseph Baldwin Academy for Eminent Young Scholars is for students that have completed 7th, 8th or 9th grade before the academy session begins. Broken into two sessions each lasting three weeks, JBA gives participating students the opportunity to experience campus life and attend multiple courses.
The first session consisted of 239 students, 31 preceptors and eight pro-staff members, while 257 students, 32 preceptors and eight pro-staff members participated in the second session. Students could choose from 11 different courses among subjects in the fields of STEM, fine arts, writing/language, history/social studies and athletic training.
