Mission Possible is designed to introduce rising 10th to 12th grade high school students to the fascinating world of industrial engineering. The program was met with so much popularity that this year it was offered in two separate week-long summer sessions to accommodate a larger number of students. Students had the opportunity to attend either the June 24-28 session, or the July 15-19 session.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe energy was phenomenal. They really enjoyed the interactive activities and we even had students who came back for the second time\u201d said Valarie DuRant-Modeste, academic advising manager in ISyE and program director for Mission Possible. \u201cThis year we had students not only from metro Atlanta, but also from as far as Puerto Rico, Taiwan, and El Salvador.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMission Possible is open to students who excel in math and science, with a focus on recruiting under-represented minority students from schools across the country. This year, a total of forty six high school students participated in the program where they interacted with industry representatives from companies such as Coca-Cola and Caterpillar Inc., and gained insight from ISyE students, faculty, and academic advisors.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information about the program contact Valarie DuRant Modeste, academic advising manager in ISyE, at \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:vrd@isye.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Evrd@isye.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E or 404.894.8405.
