This conference operates to give local San
Diego high school students of diverse communities the opportunity to get
information about the resources available to them in order to get into higher
education institutions. The purpose of this program is to reach out to high
school students and show them that higher education and the means to get there
are not intimidating when they have the knowledge and the information on how to
to get there. We would like to provide students with that information and
thereby inspire them to pursue higher education whether through community
college and transfer routes or through the straight path into four-year
universities. We would like to foster this by also allowing them spaces to talk
about their identities, struggles, and the structures that contribute to the
former two.
We would like to invite the students of
Sweetwater High School to attend this conference. We are hoping that you could
spread the news about this conference to all your high school students and see
if any of them would be interested in attending. We are working on advertising
material to come and bring to your high schools, to maybe put around or hand
out to teachers. We will be following up with you in the next few days to
confirm that you have receive this email, and if your school is on board for
the conference, to further discuss what means of outreach you plan to use and
other logistics.
