First Meeting!

Summer Seminar (S.S.),  is a program designed to enhance a students knowledge in the area of college readiness.  Participants will learn how to study more effectively and learn strategies to raise their grade point average(GPA). They will also gain and explore opportunities through hands on career shadowing and strive in the area of service.  We will frequently invite guest speakers who discuss their passions, college experiences, work life and more. 

Today  was my first meeting with the North Tech Health Sciences students. We discussed what a grade point average is, means and how it determines one's college options. As many students did not know their current GPA, we were able to use a scale to find it manually.  I also presented a power-point pertaining to ACT prep. We discussed opportunities for students to shadow physicians. Lastly, we briefly touched on the importance of volunteer work. We will have a speaker come for the next meeting and will continue to make great progress!
