Gear Up: August 2012 UCI

This week, I've been at UCI working with the Gear Up program. This program brings 80 incoming freshmen to UCI for a week. The students live in the dorms, develop their skills in academic writing, critical thinking, research and public speaking. Students also have fun guest speakers and field trips.The goal of this program is to expose the students to college life and prepare them high school.

It's been so much fun this week and I'm super impressed with the student's commitment and hard work. I also have three University students who support my class of 20. They are wonderful--- positive, hard working, supportive and they are great role models for the students.

I wish my students the best of luck in high school and I know they will go on to be great leaders.
