Weber State College Summer School—Summer School at Weber offers a full quarter of work. It is designed to serve the needs of the following: 1. High School Graduates who recognize the importance of securing additional academic training before entering the Armed Services, who wish to make up deficiencies before entering medical, dental, or engineering schools, or who wish to prepare for positions. 2. Adults who wish educational guidance, training, or general self-improvement. 3. College men and women who desire to accelerate completion of an academic degree. 4. Veterans who wish to take advantage of their GI schooling opportunities. 5. Employees who wish to improve their vocational skills. Off-Campus Training—The off-campus training program has grown out of the needs of workers and employers of the Weber State College area. This program is designed to teach occupational skills on the job and to offer theoretical and technical instruction. The college cooperates with the various military installations in planning and presenting specific courses of instruction. Supervisory Training—Weber State College has for a number of years, in cooperation with industry, the military installations and other governmental agencies, offered specific supervisory training courses designed to improve and upgrade the positions of managers, supervisors, and foremen. Each course is planned to give specific information to the organization and workers concerned. Time, place, and credit hours are arranged for each program. Finally, the community itself, with its broad cultural, economic, social, and geographical advantages, helps the College realize its objectives. Students share these advantages in many ways: 1. The businesses, shops, and industries of Ogden City provide outstanding opportunities which enable students to take part-time employment while they learn. This advantage is especially helpful in making arrangement for courses where both theory and practice are essential. Ogden is particularly attractive as a technical trade-training center because of the openings available to students who complete training courses in the trades. 2. The Ogden locality affords abundant opportunity for field trips, observation, and study in courses in the sciences and the arts. Field trips in such subjects as botany, zoology, engineering, geography, geology, social sciences, art, and photography are regularly scheduled. 28 Situated 35 miles from the Utah State Capitol and within driving distance of mining and industrial interests of the magnitude of the Geneva Steel Mills and the Bingham Copper Mines, the College has access to these additional educational resources of the community. 3. The environmental features of the Ogden locality afford such recreational opportunities as hiking, trout fishing, hunting, boating, swimming, golfing, motoring, skating, and skiing, all of which are utilized in the activity program of the college.
