FIRE Mentorship Program

Registration Form

October 4, 2007

Dear AISP Students and Parents:

Welcome to the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. For most of you students, the school year has been in progress for a few weeks. At UCI, the first full week of classes began last Monday, October 1. This date also coincided with my first day back from Maternity Leave. Our beautiful baby daughter was born on August 9 and we have spent the last two months adjusting to life as parents.

As part of the 2007 American Indian Summer Program cohort, you are automatically part of our Mentorship Program. It is not mandatory but we would love for you to be a part of it.

Here are the events planned for the year:

You can attend one event, all the events, or anything in between. However, in order to be considered an “active” participant (and claim it on college/scholarship applications, etc.), you must participate in the following: at least three activities throughout the year, and the two grade reviews by phone. For those of you not in the immediate area (i.e. San Diego, Arizona, and Washington State), you are not obligated to attend three events during the year to be included as a participant, but we will still be requiring the grade checks by phone or email, as well as following up on your attendance at college events in your area, if any.

Enclosed in this packet is a sheet with short descriptions of each of the events as well as an interest form. Please return the form by Monday, November 5th.

Sincerely,

Yolanda Leon Polequaptewa
Program Coordinator
