Pathway to University Program – USDA

Summer Camps

The Summer Camp gives you hands-on research activities, campus tours, and research facility visits. You will meet experts from USDA, UH faculties, UT-Health, Texas A&M University, and industry partners.

For the 2-day SUMMER CAMP, we will be inviting around 75 students to participate in research activities, give them tours of the main campus and UH Sugar Land and the research facilities, and meet experts from different institutions including the USDA and industry.

During the camp, students will be paired with UH students, whom we will refer to as their Cougar buds, and who will share their own experience at UH.

Parents will be invited to join the students on the campus on the last day of the summer camp and be provided with information on UH programs in Food Science, Nutrition and Agriculture Biotechnology.  Students will be awarded a certificate for completing the summer camp.

• Experience a real university lab
• Explore dozens of new career opportunities.
• Make new friends with other students interested in STEM careers.

The 2-day schedule is packed with talks from different experts and visits to the main campus and Sugar Land facilities.
