The Ralph J. Bunche Scholars Program - For outstanding students of color

Ralph J. Bunche was a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a distinguished statesman and diplomat, and a champion of world peace. The first African-American undersecretary of the United Nations, he received an honorary doctorate from Colby in 1952 and later was a Colby parent. In 1979 Colby established the Ralph J. Bunche Scholarship program to recognize students who demonstrate scholastic strength and leadership potential and who are African American, Latino/Latina, Asian American, or Native American. Bunche scholars with financial need have the loan and work components of their aid packages replaced by grants; those who do not qualify for financial aid receive a stipend and the honorific designation of Bunche Scholar. Each year Bunche scholars organize the Bunche Symposium, bringing internationally prominent speakers to Colby for lectures and workshops.

The Ralph J. Bunche Scholars honor program recognizes students of color with demonstrated scholastic strength and leadership potential. Student involvement in music, drama, athletics, dance, or art is also considered important, as is significant participation in community or school activities. Students are nominated to become a Bunche Scholars by high school counselors, Colby alumni, community leaders, and individuals in organizations nationwide who are committed to increasing multicultural presence in American higher education. Nominees must be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents. Transfer students also eligible to compete.

The UCONN CO-OP Program
Has Changed It’s Name

The Center for Educational Partnerships is pleased to announce the renaming of the High School Cooperative Program. The new name, UCONN Early College Experience (ECE), embodies the true meaning of what our program provides for enrolled high school students. The name stresses the importance of our program’s mission – to offer an early college experience and improved student access to higher education.

The decision to rename the program was endorsed by many University departments, faculty, staff and high school administrators, and could not have come at a better time, as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary. For the last 50 years ECE has implemented many far-reaching initiatives and encouraged the success of thousands of students throughout Connecticut. Early College Experience is what we stand for and describes the future of our efforts to provide college courses to enthusiastic high school students.

UConn ECE is an academic program dedicated to providing high school students access to, and preparation for, higher education. Enrolled high school students take college courses at their high school. Their instructors, the ECE Faculty, are adjunct professors who are certified by UConn's ECE Program Coordinators.

UConn credits are accepted at many colleges and universities across the country (View Transfer Credit Information). ECE has earned nationwide respect through the talent of its student participants and a group of over 600 dedicated high school educators.

Eastern Connecticut State University
University Honors Program
     Interested Students see Dr. Phillips
The Honors Program is an academic program of study that, while complementing the University’s general education requirements and the student’s academic major, is designed to promote undergraduate research and scholarship.
While honors programs are typically identified with “students who make good grades, “ we have found that high grade point average or high SAT scores do not necessarily translate into success in our program. As a program with the specific goal of fostering undergraduate research/scholarship, we are especially interested in attracting academically strong students who have demonstrated evidence of intellectual curiosity, a passion for learning, and the capacity for self-directed inquiry.
The capstone experience of Eastern’s Honors Program is the completion of a senior honors thesis that reflects quality undergraduate scholarship. To facilitate achievement of this goal, small classes that cultivate oral/written communication skills, promote critical analysis, and encourage creative/original syntheses characterized the Program’s curricular requirements. In addition, individual Honors students develop and conduct their respective thesis research project under the supervision of a faculty mentor.
As a guideline, students should have graduated in the top 20% of their class and have a combined SAT score of at least 1150, and continuing or transfer students should have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above. The most important qualification of all is a commitment to learning.
Interested students should see Dr. Phillips in the School Counseling Office. For additional information visit: http://www.easternct.edu/depts/honors/

Information for English Student of Languages

Many students are currently considering college options for the fall semester. Some students with English language difficulties may find themselves with fewer choices and more concerns; still not proficient enough in this language to take college level courses, these students might decide not to apply.

As the ESL Curriculum Leader, and an Assistant Professor here at Three Rivers Community College I have the opportunity to work with, and advise students from other countries. I wish to offer my assistance to your ESL students at this important decision making time. I feel it is our responsibility as educators to provide students with pertinent information that allows for better understanding of the registration process, placement test, course offerings, etc.

PROJECT TLC
(TECHNOLOGY LEARNING COMMUNITY)
THREE RIVERS COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Project TLC seeks to enhance recruitment, retention and career placement of associate degree students in critical engineering technology programs by fostering a learning community of students, faculty and student support specialists. Institute participants will form a clearly identifiable cohort who will be advised by a dedicated TLC counselor.
TLC students will study together in classes taught by TLC staff and other faculty who have been trained in TLC principles and methodology.

Throughout their college program of study TLC students will be mentored by the technology counselor and by technology faculty to ensure they make full use of available support services, including a range of workshops, short courses, and peer tutoring offered by the Tutoring and Academic Success Center; academic advisement; and career and transfer counseling services. The TLC will form a clearly identifiable learning community with program specific enrichment opportunities such as group meetings and industry tours and speakers.

Upon graduation, students will be assisted in securing placement in a four-year engineering, physics or computer science program or in the workforce.

Students interested in participating in this program should see Dr. Phillips, in the School Counseling Office, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
