Project MISS
Exploring Mathematics — Cal State Fullerton’s
Project MISS (Mathematics Intensive Summer Session) kicks off its
15th year July 6 with algebra II and precalculus programs for 10th-
and 11th-graders from Orange County and surrounding communities.
The four-week program was created by David L. Pagni, professor of
mathematics, to address the needs of female high school students
seeking additional assistance in mathematics, as well as to encourage
young women to pursue careers in science and mathematics. The program
offers six hours of study each day, as well as experiences in college
life and opportunities to explore career options. One of this year’s
sessions is for high school boys.
