Students > 2003 Program
With funding secured from ExxonMobil Corporation, the Geosciences department
was able to conduct the first week-long workshop of the Students Across Borders
program in June of 2003. The SAB program brought 12 high school juniors
to the campus of the University ofArizona for a weeklong program of field trips and technology training.
The summer 2003 (June 8-14) week-long workshop featured field trips, exercises and
tours during which student/teacher teams engaged in inquiry-based investigations
of Earth and environmental sciences in southern
Arizona. In addition to the university residence experience that familiarizes
students with college life and provides skills and guidance for success in
high education.
A one page handout on the first year is available in pdf format. This poster
was presented by Bob Butler. Poster (pdf)
