About the Course:

Throughout the semester, students in the program will get a chance to make a difference in how high school students view higher education.  Our main objective is to be active in the high schools we outreach to and to provide them with presentations, workshops, and information their students need to make well-informed decisions about college.  Students will also have the opportunity to take part in a mentorship program where they will guide a high school student through the college application process.

As a group, we will have in-class activities that will strengthen your skills as presenters, mentors, and UC Berkeley students.  Be prepared to make public speaking as natural as talking to your friends.  We will work together to prepare you for your outreaches. We will also develop a better understanding of the education system in the local schools and the problems that we will face in the future.  During this process, it is also the purpose of PACE to cultivate the minds of PACE students in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the disparities in the U.S. educational structures, including current educational issues.

How to Enroll:

We will be giving out the CCN on the first day of class, Thursday, September 1st at 5pm in 219 Dwinelle Hall.

Please don't be intimidated by the syllabus! The most important part of this course is attending outreaches! Neither the assignments nor the project is time consuming and you will often have class time to complete them!
