ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº

On April 19, President Cauce visited Evergreen High School in the Highline School District to visit with ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº students who are mentors in the ÌìÃÀÓ°ÔºDream Project. The ÌìÃÀÓ°ÔºDream Project is a service learning course and post-secondary planning/college access program housed out of two ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºdepartments: Undergraduate Academic Affairs and the College of Education. Through this program, mentors work in classrooms serving students in high schools with higher than average free and reduced lunch populations. Mentors use what they have learned during their EDUC 260 and/or EDUC 360 classes and personal experience to assist students through the college application process. Evergreen also hosts ÌìÃÀÓ°ÔºCollege and Career Readiness Assistant (CCRA) Interns. These are ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºundergraduates who work with students in middle and high schools for 12 hours a week to support any school and/or district identified college and career readiness needs.
