Empowering Tomorrow's Minds

LifeLaunchr and the International Institute of Research (IRI) have joined forces to unveil “Empowering Tomorrow’s Minds,” a groundbreaking research program for exceptional high school students.

Santa Rosa, CA, August 26, 2023 — LifeLaunchr, the leading virtual college admissions company, is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with the International Institute of Research (IRI), headquartered in North Carolina. This unique partnership is set to launch a high school research program aimed at providing unparalleled opportunities for exceptional young scholars to engage in cutting-edge research mentored by renowned university faculty members.

The program, aptly named “Empowering Tomorrow’s Minds,” represents a new era in academic enrichment. Exceptional high school students will have the chance to immerse themselves in the world of research, guided by esteemed university faculty members from leading institutions across the United States.

“Empowering Tomorrow’s Minds is more than just a program; it’s a transformative experience designed to nurture curiosity, foster critical thinking, and equip students with essential life skills that extend beyond academia,” said Dr. Robert Malkin, Professor of the Practice, Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering and Global Health at Duke University. “Participants will benefit from academic freedom, 1-on-1 mentorship, and a flexible learning schedule that accommodates their preferences.”

Unlike other programs, Empowering Tomorrow’s Minds focuses on teaching skills that could lead students to groundbreaking research and publication in peer-reviewed journals.

This program’s key features include the following:

  • Academic Freedom: Participants choose their research subjects or delve into ongoing lab projects supported by experts at IRI.
  • 1-on-1 Mentorship: Students collaborate closely with distinguished university faculty, creating enduring personal and professional connections.
  • Flexible Schedule: Young researchers can craft a learning schedule that fits their routine, with weekly mentor and faculty meetings tailored to availability.
  • Elevate Your Skills: Participants master research techniques, develop presentation finesse and gain expertise in their chosen fields.

Through “Empowering Tomorrow’s Minds,” students may receive letters of recommendation, establish valuable networks, and even contribute to peer-reviewed scientific journals. The program’s holistic approach extends to equipping participants with life skills such as time management, networking, and conflict resolution, setting the stage for success in college and beyond.

The launch of this innovative program will be celebrated through an upcoming webinar on August 30 at 2:00 PM EDT/11:00 AM PDT, featuring insights from LifeLaunchr founder and CEO Venkates Swaminathan and Dr. Robert Malkin of Duke University.
