Kathryn Mucica, 17, is one of 36 students nationwide selected to attend this year's Seidenberg Summer Scholars Program in Manhatten. It is offered by Pace University, with all expenses paid except transporation to and from the city.
Kathryn is a junior at Byron-Bergen High School and she also takes four college courses at Genesee Community College.
She was selected for Seidenberg in part because of her academic profile. She scored 31 on the ACT college admission and placement exam. A score of 36 is the highest possible and the national averege of test-takers last year was 21.
The three dozen summer scholars will be put into teams and will do a project about renewable energy. They will visit Microsoft and IBM, Chinatown, Broadway, Central Park, and other places of interest.
