This summer, the Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Accountancy is hosting a camp for high school students, Saluki Opportunities Awareness Residency (SOAR).
SOAR is an all-expenses paid, one-week program designed for minority students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year in high school who are considering a career in accounting, finance, or business.
Saluki Opportunities Awareness Residency
Sunday, June 18, 2023 - Saturday, June 24, 2023
SIU Carbondale Campus
The program will give students the opportunity to learn about different business professions, build their professional skills, prepare for college, interact with business professionals and college students, and build lifelong skills.
Generally, SOAR programs look for a GPA of 3.0. However, we realize that this program may ignite the passion for learning in those who do not meet that standard. The reasons for this are multiple and oftentimes are not based on academic ability. Therefore, we will take a more holistic approach in selecting residents and look forward to hosting up to 50 students this summer.
Explore soa.siu.edu/soar for additional information. If you know any students who might be interested, please encourage them to complete our online application. If you would like a paper application, please let me know.
If there are any questions, I welcome the opportunity and am willing to travel to speak with you, the faculty, and the students. Please feel free to contact me at my office number at 618/453-7960 or by email at soar@siu.edu.
With Saluki Pride,
