NOTE: Students must present their Change of Schedule forms in person unless they are fully online students. Students with extenuating circumstances that prevent them from presenting their forms in person may contact 520-621-3113 (tel:520-621-3113) for an exception. Fully online students may scan/email their forms to REG-Reghelp at email.arizona.edu (mailto:REG-Reghelp at email.arizona.edu) and provide necessary instructor and dean permissions by email.
Project SOAR (HED 397B): a service-learning course that places undergraduate mentors at under-resourced middle schools in Tucson. Mentors meet with the middle school youth weekly, addressing the following topics:
Academic strengths
Self-esteem
Conflict resolution
Career exploration
College search process
STEM Project SOAR (HED 397B Section 3): STEM major undergraduate students will act as experts in their STEM field to mentor their STEM interested middle school mentee. In addition to the traditional curriculum of Project SOAR, the STEM undergraduates will learn STEM and Possible Selves activities to administer with their middle school mentee. Possible Selves is composed of three forms:
What I want to become
What I am afraid I will become
What I think I actually will become
Benefits of STEM SOAR: STEM majors and careers are challenging to enter for all students, but especially for those who come from under-resourced communities. STEM mentors can help middle school students address setbacks and strategies to select STEM majors and careers.

Are you looking for a summer job and a way to get more involved on campus?
Apply today to be an Orientation and Welcome Leader!
As an “OWL,” you will have the opportunity to welcome new students and their families to campus this summer. OWLs will connect
with UA staff and campus partners, work with a driven student team, and gain a wealth of knowledge about the University.
The application can be found at orientation.arizona.edu on the left pane and is due December 12, 2014.
If you have any questions regarding the application or the position, please contact Carly Gieszl, Program Coordinator at ccgieszl at email.arizona.edu (mailto:ccgieszl at email.arizona.edu) or 520-349-9881.
What's the BEST major if I want to go into healthcare?
Yes, you have to be strong in sciences and have to excel at the ones you take, but the requirements for health professional programs are found in many major/minor combinations, so you can include the sciences even if you major in a non-science discipline. Do you love languages? Fine arts? Studying people or cultures? Business? All of these and more are options for you and there are U of A alumni who have gone on to health professional schools with majors in virtually all of them!
Do you love science? Which science? Love biology? We have many majors within the field of biology for you to choose as your major. Still wondering? Learn more here: http://arizona.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d02ce653ff78467d92a1ca720&id=9196f5fe11&e=af2923c469

ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK: Providing Service to Navajo & Hopi Communities
Hosted by the University of Arizona Cultural Centers, the 2015 UA Alternative Spring Break in Northern Arizona will help students gain insight about the Navajo and Hopi cultures and traditional ways of life through delivering significant and direct service to both communities. Students will be engaged in multiple cultural experiences as well as service learning projects throughout multiple cities in Northern Arizona, which include Tuba City and Chinle. Service learning experiences include but are not limited to: renovating community-wide facilities, assisting elders at the senior community center, mentoring youth, performing farm duties, and preparing for and participating in traditional blessing ceremonies. These experiences are geared to provide knowledge on social issues and give insight about traditional and contemporary views of Native American communities. Student participants also have the opportunity to earn 1 upper-division credit through LAS.
Dates: Saturday, March 14, 2015 to Wednesday, March 18, 2015
Costs: $150 per individual which will cover food, travel, lodging, and cultural activities
