University of Arizona Latina Scientists Create CampCIENCIAS for Border Students

Twenty high school students living on the United States side of the border with Mexico will attend the first ever University of Arizona CampCIENCIAS, being held Monday through Friday next week.

The camp, which translates to Camp Science, was conceived of and planned by three Latina program coordinators working at the UA’s U.S. Mexico Binational Center and Superfund Basic Research Program, part of the UA College of Pharmacy.

Mónica Ramirez, Denise Moreno and Rocio Estrella worked with the UA Office of Early Academic Outreach to publicize the camp and recruit students from Arizona border cities to apply for the free camp.”*
