Summer 2010 was a busy and productive semester at the Brevard Center. We worked hard but still had fun. We said goodbye to students moving on to new endeavors and hello to those who will be joining us in August. We also had the opportunity to spend time with high school students participating in CIP’s 2 Week Teen Summer Program at Florida Tech.

Brevard Student Senate Cook-Off
By Janet Hrezo, CIP Brevard Staff
The CIP Student Senate knows how to get the attention of students and staff with one word, FOOD. Whether our passion is eating, cooking or both, the cook-off was an event much anticipated by all. The food was appetizers, the chefs were creative and the competition was fierce. Judging the event were Annette Corrado, Residential Staff, Ryan Therriault, Academic Coordinator, Janet Becker, Social Mentor, and Rose Dougherty, Admissions Coordinator.

My Experience with Asperger’s Syndrome and the College Internship Program
By Daniel Vance Eakin, CIP Brevard Center Student
I first realized that I had Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) at the age of twenty-seven. A multitude of emotions came over me when I was diagnosed. The initial feeling was an overwhelming sense that I was discovering that I had yet another mental problem (previously I was given a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit disorder). I later developed strong feelings against AS. However, those came about as I learned what it has done to me. The most powerful feeling I have against this syndrome is that I feel that it is hindering my ability to become a complete adult.

After a long winter (at least, by Florida’s standards), the Brevard Center’s Garden Club returned to find, to their dismay, what seemed to be a barren wasteland. The frosts of January and February, while major crises for the state’s citrus industry, were nothing less than cataclysmic for the center’s modest vegetable garden.

Spring Break Takes Brevard to Washington D.C.
By Travis McArthur, Residential Coordinator
During the Brevard Center’s Spring Break, I went with a group of students to Washington D.C. On the trip we experienced many things including new food, new cultural experiences and an assortment of fascinating museums. We stayed in our nation’s capital for six nights and saw as much as we could.
On the first day, after we checked into the hotel, we took a stroll through the National Mall and got our first glimpse of the Capital Building and the Washington Monument. We ate lunch at Union Station and then explored the shopping there. Later, we continued to discover more of Washington’s sights, and experienced the city at night.
