Gifted Education Resource Institute, Purdue University

GERI runs enrichment programs for talented youth, graduate programs for future scholars and leaders, professional development and coursework for educators, and ongoing research on the psychology of giftedness, creativity, and talent development.

In 1977, GERI began Summer Residential Camps, aimed at providing a preview of college life to talented students.

The courses include science, technology, engineering, mathematics, visual and performing arts, as well as original interdisciplinary studies.

The accredited licensure program is available online and on campus for teachers interested in adding a high-ability license to their Indiana teaching credentials or as a certificate in gifted, creative, and talented studies for educators in other states and countries.

Some examples include: Faculty and staff conduct professional development related to their research using online, on-site, and campus-based delivery methods.
