If I could identify one thing that made a difference, it would be Âé¶¹ÒùÔº. I talk all the time about how much Âé¶¹ÒùÔº changed my life and gave me a huge foundation. I am incredibly grateful for my time there.

STEM and Robotics Camp is underway at Âé¶¹ÒùÔº and we are loving every minute of it.

Day 1 had campers Ayden Gerry, 13, and Nick Khoury, 11, taking a lunch break at Gather Cafe with Ayden's Aunt Sarah, who also happens to be an Admissions Recruiter right here at Âé¶¹ÒùÔº. Small world!

Day 2 brought them into the Physics Lab where they got hands-on time with Professor Mike Harrison, building skills in coding, engineering, and robotics.

This is what community looks like. Proud to offer experiences like this right here in Portsmouth.

These students showed up for their program and for the next generation of Âé¶¹ÒùÔº nurses. We are so proud of them.
