EXCEL


EXCEL is a summer enrichment program designed to provide disadvantaged/underserved high school students from grades 9-12 with the opportunity to participate in challenging math, science, computer, and language arts coursework. Students are also given the opportunity to explore health career opportunities through mentoring programs and exposure to healthcare professionals. Counselors from the target schools recruit students for the EXCEL program, beginning in September of each year. Tougaloo College serves as the site for our EXCEL program.
