TechTown student needs help to get to Harvard

Jeannette Perryman, a Detroit Northwestern High School junior, has been accepted for the prestigious Harvard Summer School program for high school students and needs assistance with tuition and board. Perryman participates in a student program at WSU's Techtown, "Detroit's only research and technology park." The Parent Child Computer Learning Foundation brings Wayne State University students together with high school students to provide mentoring during the academic year. A start-up company at TechTown, Academic Computing Environments, has voluntarily created a computer lab for student use. The article gives an address where donors can send checks to Perryman to help cover expense of attendance at the Harvard summer program.
