Register for the PRIZE Summer Teacher Academy (optional)
The PRIZE Summer Teacher Academy is held in June each year. During this one-week on-campus experience, rising high school seniors take a one credit educational technology course, live on campus, and eat meals in the dining hall. PRIZE Ambassadors (current WCU students) function as resident assistants and escort participants to and from class in the morning and activities in the afternoon. Participants are exposed to the joy and impact of teaching, become familiar with the WCU campus and school spirit, and better understand the demands of college.
