"Only stellar student work from Syracuse University high school
courses around the world is published in this journal," said
public affairs teacher Karen Ryder. "This just goes to show that
hard work pays off."
At the request of Town of Rotterdam Supervisor Francis Del
Gallo, students conducted a survey to help gauge resident's
attitudes on a proposal to create a special tax district that
would keep Rotterdam's Emergency Medical Services afloat. In
addition to creating and distributing the survey, students
analyzed the results, drafted an official report and presented
their findings to the town board.
Essays were selected based on the quality of writing and the
degree to which the project fulfilled the learning objectives of
the course. Only seven were chosen, which represent the
wide diversity and scope of the Syracuse University courses
offered by Project Advance. More than 180
high schools offer one or more Project Advance dual enrollment
courses.
