From page 10...
... All natural science students participate in an eight-week summer program prior to the beginning of their f rst year, during which study skills are developed and role models are established. This careful mentoring is continued throughout the undergraduate program and develops into opportunities for research experiences and special honors sections.

... Many such programs are patterned after the Mathematics Clinic, which began at Harvey Mudd College nearly twenty years ago. In these programs, which now operate in dozens of institutions, a team consisting of one or more faculty and several students works on an unsolved mathematically oriented problem that comes from a company or government agency.
From page 12...
... The purposes of TexPREP are to recruit potential future scientists and engineers by identifying high-achieving middle school and high school students and by providing these students with academic reenforcement to pursue science and engineering fields. The program operates in 14 Texas cities on 19 college campuses.
