We invite you, your students, and their families to learn more about The Claremont Colleges – Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps Colleges – a consortium of five undergraduate institutions located in one square mile in sunny Claremont, California. Our distinct colleges, also known as the “5Cs”, are united by a spirit of collaboration and connectivity that influences academics, athletics, and student life. With shared resources across the consortium, like the Claremont Colleges Library and over 250 clubs and organizations, students at the “5Cs” experience the best of both worlds: the ability to attend a small, tightly focused college while also enjoying the benefits of a larger college or university.

We encourage you to attend our upcoming virtual events to learn more about both our shared and institutionally unique approaches to a liberal arts education. Please forward this along to your students and their families as well. 
Thursday, February 24 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time
5C Information Session

The UCLA Game Lab Summer Institute introduces high school students to game-making as an artistic practice, teaching them techniques and tools to develop analog and digital games that reflect their own creative vision. No previous game-making skills are required!  Students with an interest in games and visual arts will find the curriculum especially rewarding–and those who complete the two-week program receive 4 units of college credit!

This summer we’re featuring two sessions of the program: an online, virtual classroom version, as well as an in-person, residential program at UCLA. The two sessions offer nearly identical instruction and game design projects—but now you can choose between an online or an on-campus experience! The dates for Summer 2022:

• Session A (online, virtual classroom): July 11, 2022 – July 22, 2022
• Session B (in-person, residential): July 24, 2022 – August 6, 2022

The Summer Institute program is committed to diversity, and we welcome students of all cultural, racial, gender, linguistic, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds and physical abilities.

Enrollment is open starting February 15—and tends to fill up pretty quickly! To register and enroll directly, please visit UCLA Summer Sessions on the web.
