The symposium, which runs October 14-16, gives high school students an opportunity to explore the arts and humanities in a college environment. Dos Remedios was nominated by administrators at Paducah Tilghman and invited to attend by Princeton's Dean of Admissions.
The all-expenses-paid weekend allows prospective students to get a taste of a Princeton education while exploring dance, theater, film, music, writing, and visual arts at a university level. Participants will work closely with Princeton's accomplished professors in cross-disciplinary workshops and seminars.
“I'm honored to represent Paducah Tilghman High School at Princeton,” said dos Remedios. “I am very excited to spend a weekend with some of the best and brightest professors and students in the country.”
Dos Remedios is a National Merit Semifinalist, an AP Scholar with Distinction, and an alumnus of the Governor’s School for the Arts where he studied instrumental music. He is a graduate of Youth LEAD, earned a regional champion designation in the Kentucky History Day competition, and serves as Features Editor for the Tilghman Bell. In addition, he serves on the Youth Missions Council at Concord United Methodist Church.
Superintendent Donald Shively said of dos Remedios, “Roberto is a prime example of a student having what we call ‘Tilghman Talent.’ He excels nationally in the academic arena, and he is a well-rounded student in the arts. Not only does he take advantage of all Tilghman has to offer in academics and the fine arts, but he is also engaged in the Paducah community.”
Dos Remedios is the second student from Paducah Tilghman in two years to receive an invitation to Princeton's event. This is the program's sixteenth year.
