August 3-9, 2025

The STEM Summer Camp invites high school students entering grades 10-12 to dive into the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through hands-on activities, participants will explore cutting-edge scientific concepts, discover how biomedical research impacts our daily lives, and gain experience using modern, real-world equipment. Staying overnight on Niagara University’s campus enhances this experience, offering students the chance to fully immerse themselves in a dynamic and enriching environment. Not only will they get to explore the beautiful campus, but they’ll also develop a sense of independence and responsibility as they experience life on a college campus. Join us for a week of discovery, learning, and fun!

  • Students will delve into robotics, DNA testing, archaeology, environmental science, and even marine biology, fostering creativity and critical-thinking skills.
  • The overnight camp also includes guest lectures, field trips, and opportunities for networking with peers who share similar interests.
  • By the end of the program, students will have gained valuable knowledge, practical skills, and a deeper understanding of academic and career pathways in the STEM fields.

Meet Dr. Mary P. McCourt

NU’s STEM Summer Camp is organized by Dr. Mary P. McCourt, a faculty member and senior scientist with extensive experience in computational chemistry and molecular modeling, cancer- targeted drug design and structural biology with emphasis on lipids. In July 2024, she received a $261,500 grant from the New York State Biodefense Commercialization Fund to formulate a general anti-viral therapeutic using CholestosomeTM technology, a molecule delivery system she developed at Niagara University.
