From volunteer opportunities in China and Costa Rica to internships at famous tech companies, we will guide you through the whole process.

Ron loves all students. While he tends to encourage anyone with a talent for STEM to actually major in STEM, the right side of his brain harbors the same love for those going into the arts.

We will provide insights into programs within particular majors at various universities. No two engineering degrees are the same!

SUMMER Placement - HS and college

Summer should be a time for recreation, but given the current admissions climate, students hoping to get into top colleges should show that they have spent at least some of their summertimes productively.

Is it possible to get an internship at an exciting tech company in California, or closer to home in Bell Works?

We'll help you find summer opportunities that will make a difference not only in your college application, but your life.
