Health, Safety, and Security• The health, safety and security of each student is our primary concern.• Doctor appointments are arranged with the Peak Health Medical Group and

local specialists. • Renowned UCLA Medical Center for 24 hour/emergency care. • Summer Discovery staff make all medical appointments, transport and

accompany students to medical facilities, obtain prescription medications and notify parents.

• Summer Discovery and UCLA housing staff are on duty on and off campus 24 hours a day.

• Resident counselors live in the same secure residence hall with Summer Discovery students.

• For additional safety, there are daily/nightly sign-ins and room checks. • In keeping with a collegiate atmosphere, students are permitted to walk on

campus and in our “home area” of Westwood Village, but are required to be insmall groups.

Transportation• All buildings and facilities on the UCLA campus, and downtown Westwood

Village are within easy walking distance. A shuttle is available at night.• A fleet of passenger vans for class field trips, small excursions and medical

transport. Chartered buses with professional drivers for large group excursions.• Summer Discovery provides escorted transfers to/from Los Angeles

International Airport for $40 each way. Staff meet incoming flights in baggage claim (or outside of customs for international flights) and assist with departures. Domestic air arrangements are made through Musiker Travel, at the lowest available fares. If you are being driven to Los Angeles, detailed driving directions are available.

Established in 1919, UCLA has evolved into a world renowned researchcenter, as well as one of the world’s most ethnically and culturallydiverse university communities. This diversity, combined with UCLA’sremarkable educational resources, reputation for academic distinction,athletic excellence, spirited student body, and superb location, create anideal setting for our pre-college enrichment program.

Located in a residential area in suburban Los Angeles, UCLA is one of the world’s best known and well respected universities. The largest of the nine University of California campuses, UCLA is internationally recognized for its innovative curricula, commitment to community service, and excellence in undergraduate teaching.

UCLA’s 24,000 undergraduate and 11,000 graduate students study on a beautiful 411-acre campus of which over 50% is open land devoted to lush, green fields, tropical trees, flowers and plants. The University is situated at the foot of the Santa Monica mountains and nestled between the residential communities of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Westwood, and Santa Monica —and just minutes from spectacular Pacific Ocean beaches. UCLA offers excellent facilities: a six million-volume library, numerous cultural centers and museums, one of the nation’s finest health care complexes, and some of the world’s finest athletic facilities — many built for the Los Angeles Olympic games.

Living and Learning Together in One Residence HallAll Summer Discovery students live together in one UCLA residence hall—a special feature of our programs. This enables students and staff to develop the close-knit community of living under one roof, which provides immeasurable social, educational and safety benefits.

Hedrick Summit SuitesStudents live in Hedrick Summit Residence Hall, near the beginning of the famed Bruin Walk and adjacent to the UCLA Sycamore Tennis Center. Rooms are 10, 6, 5 and 4 person suites, comprised of singles, doubles, and triples with semi-private bathrooms and air conditioning. Each room features beds and study desks, ample closet space, private telephones, and high-speed internet access (refrigerator rentals are available). Outstanding in-house facilities include a computer center, TV/DVD lounges, game room, and laundry room (lessons available). There is also a hotel style front desk and Summer Discovery program office.

Food For ThoughtSummer Discovery students eat in the modern Hedrick dining hall, and receive 3 meals a day (2 on weekends) while on campus. Included daily is a choice of nutritious entrees, low-fat and vegetarian selections, hot breakfast, salad bar, deli bar, pizza oven, fresh fruit, beverages, and a wide selection of desserts and frozen yogurt, with unlimited portions.

The Research Mentorship Program (RMP) provides a hands-on research experiencefor curious, highly motivated high school students. If you are interested in experiencing academic research, this is the program for you. Join a UCSB research group as they carry out their cutting edge investigations in field, laboratory and library settings. This pro-gram provides a unique opportunity to experience the process of original research and its recent developments, in a wide variety of disciplines. Research Mentorship Program students enroll in two research courses (4-credits each):

(1) Presentation Techniques in Interdisciplinary University Research Introduc-tion to presentation techniques in interdisciplinary University level research for students working research projects this summer. Oral presentation methods, poster presentation structure, elevator pitch techniques. Exposure to a variety of research projects focusing on inter discipline by way of evening lectures given by UCSB researchers or individuals who are seminal leaders in their fields.

(2) Introduction to Interdisciplinary University Research Techniques Introduc-tion to University level interdisciplinary research writing techniques for students working in research projects this summer. Abstract, introduction, research goals and methods, discussion and results. Reference style techniques. Hands-on guided research experience in laboratories and/or libraries for all disciplines.

There are usually 1-2 students per mentor. You will work closely with your mentor and becomean integral part of their research team. You will work on your project approximately 30-40 hoursper week and learn about research techniques, data collection and analysis, writing a technicalresearch paper, and how to professionally present your findings in a variety of academic settings. Research topics currently under consideration include but are not limited to:

There are field trips and special lectures. On Friday afternoons students share their progress in research with their classmates, expanding everyone’s horizons.

Students complete an original research paper, and during the last week they will present their findings in a research symposium that parents and friends are welcome to attend. Your original research paper will be a unique addition to your future college application package.

There are no tests or finals, just hands-on original research and positive learning. You will develop long lasting friendships with serious and creative students like yourself and will likely keep in touch with your mentors and co-researchers long after the summer is over.

Join and experience research as a field of study, and as a potential future profession. So apply early and invite a friend to join you. The minimum requirement for admission is a 3.8 weighted GPA using honors and AP credit, although GPA is just one factor considered for admission to RMP. ($1,100 supplemental fee for RMP)

Food For Thought—Chinese ChoiceDining in China is fresh, healthy and delicious. Students dine in a wide variety of restaurants, both Chinese and Western, in family style group meals or choice of menu. Students enjoy breakfast at our hotel and experience restaurants in the evening throughout the city. Two meals per day are included.

Health, Safety and Security• The health, safety and security of each student is our primary concern.• For 24 hour/emergency care, students use Shanghai United Family Hospitals/

Clinics, the most prominent healthcare organization in China.• International SOS supplemental medical/health insurance (included in tuition)

campus and in our “home area,” but must be in small groups.

Transportation• It is a short walk to all of our classrooms and athletic facilities. Students also

travel by a very clean and efficient subway system. • For large group excursions, chartered buses with professional drivers, trains

and public transportation are used.• Summer Discovery provides escorted transfers to/from the airport in

Shanghai and Beijing for $75 each way. Staff meets the Summer Discovery flight after customs and assists with departures.
