In addition to those previously announced, Sue Stickel has been awarded a research assistant for the coming academic year. Originally housed in the Latino Family Services, Inc., in more recent times the project has been housed in Earheart Junior High School. EMU students have served as tutors, mentors, and group leaders. Latino students have responded favorably and there are already indications that the extremely high drop-out rate of Latino students in this community is being reduced appreciably as a result of these efforts. EMU students have had the opportunity to provide a service learning project to a community in need as well as to learn multiculturally relevant techniques useful in future teaching and other endeavors.
Information is available in each department office.
EMU has not made any commitment to participate in the process, although the matter will be on the agenda of the UCTE in the fall for review. Any interested party is invited to comment on the draft guidelines by September 15. Any interested party is invited to respond to the proposed changes by December 1, 1993.
