There are a variety of summer programs which the campus supports; programs exist for high school students, non-UCB college students, and non-UCB faculty; as of 1995 the campus is considering the possibility of developing a summer "alumni academy". Participants are often from out of state. Cards are issued for the duration of the program (usually 6-8 weeks), based on lists of enrollees provided to the Library Privileges Desk in Doe Library by the contact shown below.
Academic Talent Development Program (ATDP):
ATDP has two programs for "gifted" children: secondary (7th - 11th graders) and elementary (for younger children). Most participants are from the Bay Area. UCB Library supports the program for the secondary school aged participants. There are 1100 in all on campus for 6 weeks each summer; ATDP estimates that only those involved in the social science programs use the library, numbering 60-100 / summer. The program is sponsored by the Graduate School of Education and uses UCB grad students as some of the program instructors.

American Culture Center summer program for community college teachers:
1 week seminar for community college faculty to learn to design and teach courses that would fulfill UCB's american culture requirement. Participants are selected and sponsored by their home institutions. Most participants are eligible for library privileges under the "Calif teachers" provision. However, some participants, due to their temporary appointment status in community colleges, are not. To normalize this, Corliss Lee arranges with Privileges Desk to provide extramural cards to this subset of participants. Total program participation 20-40; special agreement covers a small portion of this total.

Berkeley Summer Mathematics Institute:
6 week summer program of colloquia and classes for 30 under-represented minority students considering graduate education in Mathematics. Non- UCB faculty for the institute come to UCB, as do (mostly) non-UCB undergraduates, to participate in this program. Most TA's for the program are UCB mathematics graduate students. Benefits to the campus: eventual recruitment of some of these minority students. Institute now coordinated by Professor P. Uri Treisman -- a former graduate student at UCB-- now affiliated with the Dana Center, University of Texas at Austin. Berkeley sponsoring faculty: Emeritus Professor Leon Henkin. NOT FUNDED FOR SUMMER 1995.

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Academic Preparation and Articulation Science Institute:
10 week summer course co-sponsored by the Office of Academic Prep and Articulation (on-campus) and LBL. Typical enrollment: 25 community college students who either have been accepted to Berkeley or who are thinking of transferring to Berkeley. Students do research with scientists at LBL and do coursework with an instructor on campus.

Mathematics Engineering Science Academy (MESA):
MESA/Berkeley is a component of a Statewide program to increase the number of under-represented minorities in mathematics-based professions. The Berkeley program is sponsored by the College of Engineering. The program involves 140 students each summer, with faculty/staff of 40. Faculty are undergraduates from the UCB College of Engineering and high school teachers from across the country.

Pre-College Academy:
Program sponsored by UCB Academic Preparation & Articulation Department, Early Academic Outreach Program. Participants for 100 high school juniors and seniors who are traditionally underrepresented in the UC system: African Americans, American Indians, Chicano/Latinos and low income students. Particpants come from local high schools. Classes offered in writing, biology, and chemistry. UCB graduate students teach these classes.

Summer Bridge program:
180-250 students annually. Students have UCB registration cards, which they use as their library card. This program is for students who attend UCB during the summer preceding their first semester of official enrollment. About one-half of these students attend to make up some prerequisite required by the admissions office for regular, full-time enrollment.

Summer Mathematics Institute, Mills College:
6 week summer program of intensive classes in Mathematics for 20-24 women undergraduates. Program given in conjunction with the Berkeley Summer Mathematics Institute (although for 1995 the Mills College Institute is funded, while the Berkeley Math Institute is not). Courses cover unusual mathematical subjects. Participants required to do research, primarily in the A/M/S Library. Program benefits: encouragement of women to enroll in PhD programs in mathematics; eventual UCB recruitment of some of these women students. Faculty participants: Prof Leon Henkin, Professor Emeritus, UCB; Prof Deb Nolan, UCB; a professor from Stanford; a professor from Mills.

Summer Research Opportunities Program:
8 week course of study matching 30+ under- represented undergraduate students with faculty at UC Berkeley. Program involves students in all disciplines. Graduate Division is interested in potential recruitment of masters candidates from these summer program participants. Library provides orientation to students, library access and basic library privileges.

Superb Students:
Program sponsored by College of Engineering; funded by Vice Provost for Professional Schools and a research grant from the National Science Foundation. 14 juniors from colleges across the country are invited here to work with UCB grad student + faculty member to do research. This program is part of the recruitment efforts by the College of Engineering.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language Institute:
4-week program (during August), primarily for teachers from the Pacific Rim who teach English as a second language to their countrymen. First institute happened in Summer 1994. 1995 program will be comprised of 3 courses: 1 for improving individual's fluency in English, and 2 courses presenting methodologies for teaching English. 20-25 teachers participate. Organized by UC Extension as part of their international outreach effort, and as an outgrowth of their "teaching English as a second language" certificate program.

Upward Bound:
Grants from the US Department of Education and from the US Dept. of Agriculture to increase the number of low-income, first generation students in post secondary institutions. Participants recruited from Bay Area secondary schools. A second program, Upward Bound Math/Science Regional Center recruits students from Hawaii, California, Araizona, Nevada, and the Pacific Islands; provides intensive summer academic courses in math and the sciences.
