  The Russell Conwell Educational Services Center

  The Russell Conwell Educational Services Center, commonly referred to as the Russell Conwell Center, is a network of programs providing student access and facilitating retention and graduation. The Center fosters a community of scholars who are engaged in their university and surrounding community. The Center provides Temple University students with comprehensive academic support to facilitate their academic, co-curricular, and professional development.  Throughout the academic year, specialized assessments, educational workshops, tutorial services, certificate programs, professional development seminars, peer mentoring, leadership enrichment, academic counseling, and supplemental academic courses are provided to students. Furthermore, the Center serves as the home of the Supplemental Scholarship Committee, providing annual scholarships to Temple University students. These services, which improve student satisfaction, retention, and graduation, are available to all students regardless of college, matriculation status, or year of admission. 
  
  In addition to the academic year program, the Center provides a six-week Summer Bridge Program for entering freshmen through its "Freshmen Admission 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 serves Philadelphia high school students who aspire to attend college through two Temple University Upward Bound Programs. 
  
  FRESHMAN ADMISSION 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 Temple Office of Undergraduate Admissions are assigned to the Center for services and notified of their mandatory participation in, and completion of, the six-week Summer Bridge Program. Upon successful completion of the Summer Bridge, students matriculate as Temple University freshmen in the fall semester and receive academic support and service from the Center throughout their undergraduate 
  career. The Summer Bridge Programs provide academic skill preparation in mathematics, language arts, computer science, technology, English, and library skills, along with academic assessment and counseling to facilitate student's successful transition into the collegiate academic, social, and cultural milieu, creating a foundation for academic excellence. 
  
  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. Prospective 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 skills 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, as well as additional conferences throughout the nation. 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 participate in numerous activities, including academic enrichment, core mathematics, English and science 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, and experience the nuances of, college life. In addition, the programs provide extensive field trips, college tours, and site-visits to educational, cultural, and science-related institutions. Students also have the opportunity to conduct scientific, biological, mathematical, or technological research and present their 
  findings at various Science Fair events.
