Cheyney University will host the
National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) for high school students in
grades 10, 11, and 12. Participation in the NSTI is free for students who
have an interest in learning more about the transportation industry, its
various modes (e.g., highways, aviation, transit and maritime) and how they
might pursue post-secondary education concentrating on some aspect of
transportation, and the myriad of career opportunities.
This educational initiative is a
partnership between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Cheyney University . The
program vision is to develop a diverse, well-qualified workforce for the
transportation industry.
Cheyney University will host this
intense four-week, non-residential program on its campus in Chester County,
Pennsylvania . The NSTI at Cheyney University will be in session Monday through
Friday from 9:00 am-4:30 pm. The world of transportation will be
presented to the students through lectures, weekly field trips, hands on
activities and a mini career fair. Students will attend classes in math and English
geared toward improving their performance on standardized college entrance
examinations.
Those interested in attending the
program must complete an application. The application may be downloaded
from the Cheyney University website at www.cheyney.edu. Additional information
may be obtained by contacting Sharon Cannon, Executive Director of the Economic
and Workforce Development Center at Cheyney University at 610-399-2057 or by
