State of Georgia Governor's Honors Program Needs Interviewers

This coming February, the Governor's Honors Program will be conducting interviews for its annual summer program. If you are interested in serving as an interviewer, or otherwise assisting with the selection day, see here: https://gosa.georgia.gov/ghp-volunteer-opportunities

 Here's a bit about the program:

The Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP) is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school students who will be rising juniors and seniors during the program.  The program offers instruction that is significantly different from the typical high school classroom and that is designed to provide students with academic, cultural, and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders.
GHP is held in mid-summer (mid-June to mid-July) as a residential educational experience on a college or university campus.  Students attend classes in the mornings and afternoons in specific areas of study, and they participate in a wide variety of social and instructional opportunities every evening.  Meals and rooms are provided by the program with the only required and expected costs to the students being travel expenses to and from the interviews, a few basic supplies for classes and dorm rooms, and spending money as desired during the program.
