Rowe Community

Rowe is a community. Small groups, called “family trees”, have been created to form strong connections between a few of the Scholars, but the program as a whole is a family as well. We are all here to support each other, including the program coordinators, the Steering Committee, and the alumni, to offer networking, brainstorming, and anything they know about funding opportunities. All the people mentioned are here to provide support. Everyone involved with Rowe is a great resource.

In the spirit of friendly competition to push every Rowe Scholar to get the most out of the program and his/her academics, families engage in “Rowe Candyland”, in which families receive points for certain activities. The two highest point earning families will win a prize at the end of the academic year.

  • Point System
    • Entire family attends a Rowe event = 4 pts. (Verified by sign-in sheets.)
    • Half or more of the family attends a Rowe event = 2 pts. (Verified by sign-in sheets.)
