The second part of the mentorship program includes alumni of color. Upperclassmen will have the opportunity to be mentored by an alumnus of UW Parkside. Alumni of color will provide upper classmen with advice in career planning, time management, moral support, etc. Field trips, picnics and cultural excursions will be offered periodically for both groups. Think Tank Students who are having difficulty in math and English can receive assistance from other students who have successfully mastered these courses.
Students are welcome to drop in during any of the group study sessions which are held weekly.
Cultural Activities Various speakers, entertainment and presentations are sponsored by our office. In addition, OMSA has helped students participate in different off-campus events such as multicultural job fairs, conferences, etc. Join us for the campus longest running awards achievement banquet. At this banquet we recognize and honor academic achievement, leaders, and graduating students of color. Rich, cultural entertainment is a highlight of this event to which students are encouraged to bring their families.
