  The Russell Conwell Educational Services Center

  The primary function of the Russell Conwell Educational Services Center is to provide Temple University students with comprehensive academic support to facilitate their academic, professional, and co-curricular development. Throughout the academic year, specialized assessments, educational workshops, tutorial services, peer mentoring, leadership enrichment, academic counseling, and supplemental academic course work are provided to students. These services, which improve student satisfaction, retention, and graduation, are available to all students (including adults) regardless of college, matriculation status, or year of admission. 
  
  In addition to the academic year program, the Center provides a six-week summer pre-matriculation program for entering freshmen through its "Freshmen Referral Programs" described below. The Center also provides incentive and preparatory services to Temple University students who desire to pursue a doctoral degree through its Ronald McNair Program (see below) as well as to Philadelphia high school students who aspire to attend college through two Temple University Upward Bound Programs. 
  
  FRESHMAN REFERRAL PROGRAMS to the Conwell Center [Act 101, Student Support Services, and Educational Services Component]:  

  These three programs are devoted to providing access and retention services for talented high school graduates who have demonstrated the potential for academic achievement at Temple University. The primary distinctions between the programs are established by state or federal requirements, reflecting the somewhat varied program foci. Students admitted by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and assigned to these programs for services are notified of the need for their mandatory participation in a six-week Summer Bridge Program before their fall semester of enrollment. Upon successful completion of the Summer Bridge, they are then matriculated as Temple University students in the fall semester and receive academic support and service from the program throughout their undergraduate career. The Summer Bridge programs provide academic skill preparation in mathematics, language arts, computer science and usage, English, and library skills, along with academic assessment and counseling relating to the transition from high school to college and achieving success at the collegiate level. 
  
  PRE-GRADUATE SCHOOL PROGRAM: [Ronald E. McNair Faculty-In-Training Undergraduate Program]: 

  This pre-graduate school program for undergraduate students (funded by the U.S. Department of Education) is designed to prepare 20 junior and senior students for successful entry into, and graduation from, a doctoral program. Participants must aspire to enroll in graduate education and have an interest in the professorate. In addition, students must be a first generation college student with a low-income economic status (as defined by the U.S. Department of Education) or be from a group that is underrepresented in graduate education. Students will participate in a simulated graduate school experience during the spring semester and summer program.While they live in the residence halls during the summer program, students will participate in a faculty guided research project, enhance their academic skill as they assist a faculty member teach a course in "Intellectual Heritage," prepare for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), become learned in the graduate application process, and visit various graduate programs. Students will culminate their participation by presenting their research at the McNair Scholars Summer Research Conference. McNair Scholars will receive a stipend during their program participation. 

  PRE-COLLEGE PROGRAMS: [Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math Science Programs]: 

  These programs prepare Philadelphia high school students for successful entry into, and graduation from, college. During the academic year and six-week Summer Bridge Programs, students receive and participate in numerous activities, including academic enrichment, intensive classes, workshops, tutorial services, and leadership development. A full range of academic assessment and counseling is also provided, with a focus on academic, career, financial, and personal development. During the Summer Bridge Programs, students reside on campus at Temple University during the week to gain insight into college life. In addition, the programs provide extensive field trips, college tours, and site-visits to educational, cultural, and science-related institutions, as well as the opportunity to participate in Science Fair events.
