EL PROGRAMA
Julio 14 - 20, 2024 | GRADOS 7 - 9
Academia Latina es un programa de verano académico residencial para jóvenes latinos en el sur de Oregon. El programa ofrece una amplia gama de clases, experiencias culturales y actividades recreativas para los estudiantes latinos que han completado los grados 7 al 9. Los estudiantes seleccionados para el programa vivirán en el campus en la Universidad del Sur de Oregon en Ashland. Ellos interactuarán con otros estudiantes latinos de todo el sur de Oregón mientras son retados por instructores creativos, imaginativos y actividades.
Academia Latina fue creada cuando la Universidad del Sur de Oregon se asoció con el distrito de servicios educativos de Jackson y Rogue Community College y celebró un Simposio de planificación Latino en 1999 para desarrollar un programa anual para jóvenes latinos. Durante 19 años, Academia Latina ha estado rompiendo las barreras que enfrentan los jóvenes latinos. Nuestra misión es impactar positivamente a todos los jóvenes latinos en el sur de Oregon!

INFORMACION SOBRE EL PROGRAMA
POLÍTICA PARA 2023: SOU continúa funcionando bajo protocolos descritos por la Oregon Health Authority (Autoridad de Salud de Oregon) para clases en persona y en eventos en las instalaciones de la universidad para asegurar la seguridad comunitaria y el cumplimiento de las actuales pautas estatales y federales. Por favor tome en cuenta, que aunque no se requiere actualmente que los estudiantes comprueben haberse vacunado, podrían tener que hacerlo.
En caso de ser necesario comprobar el estado de vacunación, se podrían permitir algunas excepciones, pero estas se manejarían individualmente caso por caso, y se podría requerir documentación adicional. En el caso de una excepción aprobada, es probable que las familias tengan que proporcionar una prueba negativa COVID realizada dentro de las 24 horas antes de llegar al campamento en SOU. Los requisitos para el programa están sujetos a cambios debido a las regulaciones estatales y federales. Las decisiones finales sobre los protocolos de salud y seguridad se tomarán a medida de que nos acerquemos al inicio del campamento.
- Actualmente no se requieren cubre bocas para participar en programas en el campus, pero se recomiendan.
