Kelcie Schaubroeck, a 10th grade student at Centennial High School in Utica, has been accepted into the Duke University Talent Identification Summer Studies Program. She will be attending the three-week program in Durham, North Carolina this summer in June.
To be eligible to apply for this program, students had to participate in the Duke Talent Identification Program Talent Search during their seventh grade year at school. In addition, the participants must have scored among the top one-fourth of one percent in academic reasoning ability nationwide on the SAT or ACT College Entrance Examinations that they took as a seventh grader. Students have to apply for these selective courses.
Kelcie will be in the Apocalypse Soon: The End of the World in Myth, Literature, and Film course. Studies will include the mythological, historical, and religious conceptions of the end of the world, beginning with Mayan prophecy and ending with an investigation of contemporary apocalyptic fears such as global warming and terrorism. She will complete the equivalent of a semester long university course during this session.
Kelcie is the daughter of Jody Schaubroeck of Utica and Steve Schaubroeck of Thayer. This is the second time that Kelcie will be participating in a summer course at Duke University.
