Summary of the Institute
Prior to 1993, there had been no summer mathematics program available in Vermont for talented high school students. To fill this void, in 1993 Tony Trono and Ken Gross founded the Mathematics, Science, and Technology High School Summer Enrichment Institute, a one-week residential program in mathematics and mathematically based science, engineering, and technology for thirty of the most talented secondary school students in the state of Vermont. In this unique program, held on the UVM campus, students participate in a series of courses and seminars that take them far beyond their experience in high school mathematics and science courses, and provide them with a broad exposure to the frontiers of mathematics and the mathematical sciences, including engineering, biomedical research, and computer science.
In 2005, the primary sponsorship for the Summer Institute was changed, and the Summer Institute is now designated as the Governor’s Institute in the Mathematical Sciences (GIMS). The current Co-Directors are Tony Trono, and Jeff Dinitz.
