In association with Duke TIP, the Torrance Center at the University of Georgia is excited to bring academically enriching weekends to gifted students in 2014-2015! Through the UGA-Duke TIP program gifted students have the opportunity to dive deeply into a particular topic at the University of Georgia. These classes are instructed by either UGA professors, graduate students, as well as, gifted educators and professionals in their field. The classes are highly active and offer an opportunity for students to learn not only at an accelerated level, but to interact and work with like-minded peers. Duke TIP Scholar Weekends provide opportunities for academically talented students to take short courses during weekend-long programs on the University of Georgia’s campus. The program is open to students in grades 8–11 who are Duke TIP Talent Search participants or are identified as academically gifted by local school criteria. Courses introduce topics that might not be available in local schools, delve into a specific subject with great detail, and help students consider options for college majors and careers. Scholar Weekends provide an opportunity to meet similarly motivated peers.
