Project SOAR (Fall HED 350; Spring HED 397B): (mailto:coe.arizona.edu/soar)  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 (Fall HED 350 Section 3; Spring HED 397B Section 3): (mailto:facebook.com/UAProjectSOAR)  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 a theoretical framework addressing three perceptions:

-What I want to become
-What I think I actually will become
-What I am afraid I 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 by participating in this 100% engagement opportunity!

If you are in need of additional credits for Spring 2015, there is a new 3-unit course option has opened up for the accelerated 7-week session (7W2) that will begin on March 9 (running 3/9/2015 through 5/6/2015, with the usual semester closures in place; there will be no classes during spring break).
“CLAS/RELI 305-002 – Greek and Roman Religion” is now open on UAccess for enrollment during the 7W2 session for Spring 2015.

This course can count toward the Classics or Religious Studies major and minor. It also counts as General Education: Tier 2 Individuals and Societies, and Writing Emphasis.
