JACKSON TWP. — Allison Spear, a senior at Seneca Valley High School, attended WiE RISE at The Ohio State University.

Sponsored by the GM Foundation and Shell, and hosted by the Women in Engineering Program in the College of Engineering, WiE RISE is a weeklong summer camp focused on engineering majors and careers.

Spear visited corporations and businesses to see the role engineers have in local, regional, national and global communities.

The highlight of the camp for Spear was the introduction to aeronautical and astronautical engineering and aviation. It included a flight lesson, time in a flight simulator, and flying in a small airplane.

Spear and 29 other potential engineers were admitted to the program based on academic achievements, a recommendation and an essay.
