1999:
Love of Learning Interns

Three Love of Learning interns were selected by the LOL staff to work with faculty members in the 1999 HHMI summer research program.

Six Love of Learning interns were selected by the LOL staff to work with six HHMI Summer Research Fellows in the 1998 HHMI summer research program.

The interns, their parents, the HHMI summer research fellows and the faculty mentors met for the first time in late April. At this time, the interns were asked to list, in order of preference, the projects they would most like to work on for the summer. Interestingly, each intern chose a different project so the process of assigning them to their top choice was very easy.

Two of the 1998 LOL interns enrolled in college the following fall:

• Kevin Green completed his freshman year at Winston-Salem State University and he's majoring in Biology.
• Robert Dickerson completed his freshman year at North Carolina State University and his major is undeclared.

Four of the 1998 LOL interns graduated from high school in May 1999 and planned to attend college in the fall:

• Alex Thornton will attend Florida A&M University.
• Amanda Talford and Amelia Talford will be attending Winston-Salem State University.
• Ela Burton will be attending Hampshire College.

Love of Learning Interns

Six Love of Learning interns were selected by the LOL staff to work with six HHMI Summer Research Fellows in the 1997 HHMI summer research program.

The interns, their parents and the HHMI summer research fellows met for the first time in early June 1997 to establish a work schedule for the summer. Each LOL intern spent the equivalent of 10 hours/week for 10 weeks working with the fellow. The interns were also included as participants in the six luncheons scheduled throughout the summer research program, as well as the final HHMI poster presentation held on September 24, 1997.

Three of the LOL interns (Janet Beamer, Dawn Houseton and Antwaine Mitchell) completed their senior year in high school in 1997-98. Janet Beamer was accepted to 5 colleges for 1998-99. Two of the LOL interns (Dawn Douglas and Isiah Williams) attended their first year at Winston Salem State University in 1997-98.
