Extreme Academics
Extreme Academics has been helping DU students get the most out of DU's academic opportunities since Fall 2009. Its purpose is to help DU undergraduates develop skills and discover opportunities to make them competitive for prestigious graduate programs and domestic and international post-graduate fellowships. The program includes an Opportunities Fair, workshops, graduate student and faculty panels, peer support and one-on-one guidance to help students identify their scholarly goals and develop ways to achieve them. The schedule lists the events offered, and students are welcome to attend any or all of them. Interested students will have the opportunity to work during Winter and Spring Quarters on individual projects with support from program directors.
