The SUN program is designed to provide an opportunity for gifted and talented high school students. SUN acknowledges that gifted and talented students need the opportunity to extend their education in their area of interest.

Through the SUN Program, students have exposure to the university and experience as a university student. They become familiar with the policies, procedures and expectations of the university which helps them have a smoother transition into university.
