| http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract | Telluride Association Summer Programs, or … Telluride Association Summer Programs, or TASPs, are selective six-week educational experiences for rising high school seniors offering intellectual challenges beyond secondary school level. The programs are designed to bring together young and intellectually bright students from around the world who share a passion for learning. The participants, or TASPers, attend an intensive seminar led by college and university faculty members and participate in many educational and social activities outside the classroom. Like the Telluride houses, each TASP receives a discretionary budget, whose use is democratically distributed via weekly house meetings. Many students are invited to apply based on strong standardized test scores, such as by scoring highly on the PSAT, or through the nomination of educators who are familiar with TASP. However, any high school junior may request an application, and acceptance largely ignores standardized test scores and graded academic performance. Like other Telluride programs, TASPs are free. TASPs also advocate a self-contained community of learning among the TASPers at any one of the four TASP seminars. TASPers are encouraged to engage in activities together outside of seminars. Often, TASPers form close bonds over six weeks as a result of the self-contained community that forms. Since the first TASP was held in 1954, TASPs have been held at college and university campuses across the United States, including Cornell, University of Texas at Austin, Deep Springs College, Johns Hopkins University, Williams College, University of Michigan, Washington University in St. Louis, Kenyon College, and St. John's College. Nationally known faculty who have taught at TASP include Blakey Vermeule (Stanford), John Schaar (UC Santa Cruz), Hanna Pitkin (UC Berkeley), Donald Kagan (Yale), Herbert Storing (University of Chicago), Robert Nozick (Harvard), Leon Kass (University of Chicago), and Thomas Palaima (University of Texas). Alumni of TASPs and Telluride Houses include political economist Francis Fukuyama; literary critic Gayatri Spivak; political theorist William Galston; former Stanford Law dean Kathleen Sullivan; Nobel laureates in physics Steven Weinberg and Richard Feynman; journalist and biographer Walter Isaacson; author Daniel Alarcón; Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman; Harvard English professor and Dean of Undergraduate Education Amanda Claybaugh; 2008 MacArthur Fellow Rachel Wilson; former World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz; filmmaker Glen Pitre; former Writers Guild of America West president Howard A. Rodman; philosophers Thomas Nagel and Barbara Herman; Olympic medalist Bonnie St. John; queer theorist Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick; Manhattan Institute president Reihan Salam; author and Democratic politician Stacey Abrams; and, lawyer Loulan Pitre, Jr.acey Abrams; and, lawyer Loulan Pitre, Jr. |
