Closing Ceremony Speeches 2016

Watch as three of our students, Aidan Dent (Fellow Academy Pre-Scholar), Tiffannie Coy (Leadership Academy Scholar), and Cameron Todd (Talented Tenth Scholar) reflect on their experiences for the 2016 Summer Institute. From the rigorous academics to the supportive staff and lifelong friends that were made, each student highlights how they worked hard yet played hard, which made their experience unique, helped them grow as individuals and made them proud to be a Du Bois student.
