Twenty first-year �鶹avӳ����ý students will meet on campus Aug. 8 before heading into the California wilderness on a unique 12-day orientation program. The trek begins in the Eastern Sierra town of Bridgeport and winds around many 10,000-foot peaks in the Toiyabe National Forest.

Thirty-six of the world’s top high school science students have been tracking the course of an asteroid as part of the 55th annual Summer Science Program (SSP) at �鶹avӳ����ý. The students, from 14 states and six countries, attend college-level lectures during the day and then measure the speck of light from the near-Earth asteroid during the evening.
