More than 350 K-12 students from seven states, Mexico, and Colombia are on the Baylor campus this summer for enrichment courses and immersive learning experiences at summer camps through the Baylor University Talent Identification Program (TIP) in the School of Education.
Baylor TIP, a program of the Baylor Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development, identifies pre-collegiate students with exceptional talent and provides them with world-class learning opportunities that match their exceptional potential.
“As the only Christian university that hosts a Talent Identification Program for adolescent students, Baylor TIP challenges students to fully develop the academic gifts that God has given them and to use those gifts for the greater good,” said Cheryl Taliaferro, Ph.D., director of pre-collegiate programs for Baylor TIP.
In addition to the TIP residential program, the Center is hosting three other camps – a TIP Intermediate day camp, Baylor’s long-running University for Young People, and as a site for Texas-based DECATS (DeBusk Enrichment Center for Academically Talented Scholars).
