Rural Immersion Experience
The Rural Immersion Experience is an expenses-paid trip to Adams State and the San Luis Valley in which participants will be immersed in STEM education in rural communities. Participants will have opportunities to meet with Adams State faculty, staff, and educational leaders from neighboring communities. Activities include school visits, visiting local national parks and landmarks, and participating in STEM and education-related activities both on and off Adams’ campus. Housing and food will be provided for the duration of the event, and some reimbursement is available for travel expenses.
