RARE students will come to Lehigh for a 2-week* “camp” prior to regular orientation that will be organized in cooperation with the Office of the First Year Experience, the Office for Academic Outreach, and STEM faculty. The program will include introductions to life science, including responsible conduct of research, safety, the laboratory environment, the research enterprise, exposure to primary literature, information technologies; sessions addressing campus culture, academics, resources, and support services; and social activities. Students participating in the pre-orientation camp will receive a stipend.
