Summer Ventures in
Science and Mathematics (SVSM) Institutes administered b

the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. SVSM is a cost-free,
state-funded program for academically talented students who may pursue careers
based in science and mathematics.
The program brings rising juniors and seniors together in residential settings for four weeks of intensive study on a university campus (Appalachian State University, East Carolina University, NC Central University, UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, or Western Carolina University.)
A distinguished faculty of
UNCW professors and master high school teachers guides students through an
academic program of specially designed courses to provide experience in
scientific inquiry and mathematical problem solving.
At UNCW, Summer Ventures is administered through the Science and Mathematics Education Center. Mrs. Karen Shafer is the SMEC/SVSM Director; Dr. Gabriel Lugo, UNCW Department of Mathematics and Statistics, is the SVSM Faculty Liaison; Mr. Bill Kawczynski is the SMEC/SVSM Assistant Director. Mrs. Kim Cavender is the Director of Residence Life.
