A Message from Center for Bright Kids:
FROM:    Center for Bright Kids sponsor of the WATS: Western Academic Talent Search program – for details see CGK’s Web site: www.centerforbrightkids.org
 
The Center for Bright Kids is proud to announce the new home for our Summer Programs will be Colorado School of Mines, a top public Barron's-rated research university devoted to engineering and applied science.
Mines has the highest admissions standards of any public university in Colorado and among the highest of any public university in the U.S.
Mines has distinguished itself by developing a curriculum and research program geared towards responsible stewardship of the earth and its resources. In addition to strong education and research programs in traditional fields of science and engineering, Mines is one of a very few institutions in the world having broad expertise in resource exploration, extraction, production and utilization. As such, Mines occupies a unique position among the world's institutions of higher education.
We are looking forward to our new relationship with this top-notch instituition and the experiences our students will receive interacting with faculty and staff on this beautiful campus nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills just west of Denver.
Thanks, everyone, for your support through this transition process. Please check out our website at www.centerforbrightkids.org for more information on our Summer Programs.
