After a fantastic first session, we welcomed thirteen new students to Summer Springboard at Oxford for Session 2! This session introduced two new courses, Economics with Dr. Owoye, and Psychology and Neuroscience with Prof. Carmen Minon. Psychology and Neuroscience students had the opportunity to hear from guest speaker Peter Vaga. Our economics students put their problem solving skills to the test, in an economics scavenger hunt! Solving clues, and using their economics knowledge to discover Oxford  landmarks, like Carfax tower, and the Covered Market.Â
On Tuesday, the classes came together for a tour of Christ Church College, led by an Oxford student. Christ Church College has educated thirteen British Prime Ministers, authors including Lewis Carroll, Nobel Prize winners, and philosophers like John Locke. Its beautiful gothic architecture even inspired Hogwarts’s Great Hall!
The students are enjoying getting to know each other, Oxford’s gorgeous campus, and immersing themselves in their courses!Â

Students at Oxford are almost finished with their memorable Summer Springboard experience!
What a journey it’s been on campus. After an incredible week of hands-on academic courses, inspiring afternoon activities and adventurous weekend excursions, our students are about to cross the finish line of an unforgettable Summer Springboard program. They’ve explored new ideas, challenged themselves and made friendships that will last long after they leave campus.
Throughout the program, students gained valuable insight into their college major interests and career aspirations, while reflecting on the kind of learners and future professionals they want to become. From engaging classroom discussions to real-world experiences beyond campus, this summer has been all about growth, discovery and setting the foundation for what’s next.
We’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see where their journeys take them. Here’s to new beginnings and exciting futures ahead!
