College of Education: Belin-Blank Center

Student Programs

Gifted students from the State of Yucatan in Mexico attended a residential summer program at the Belin-Blank Center in 2007.

“Everything was awesome, I'm taking home so many unforgettable positive memories and I would recommend it to everybody. The thing I liked the most was the combination of learning and meeting great new people, and I think that continuing to do these kinds of things will bring many positive things to our country and obviously to each and everyone of us.” —Jose L. Araujo, Mexican Scholars Program student participant
