Summer pre-college programs can be a source of new revenue and serve as a feeder program for admissions. However, bringing minors to campus presents a unique set of challenges that must be considered if you want to promote a safe, positive academic experience for students and their parents. We will explore best practices that are used by the Summer@Brown Program and important issues related to managing risk for pre-college student populations.

The project assess the extent to which summer session websites are easily accessible; use pleasing graphics; have layouts that are "user-friendly"; and supply students with functionally useful information.
