Grow Old In A Good Way

Next week we have the honor to participate in a Sneak Up Led by Dr. Laura Guillen.  She will be leading a workshop on health and healing.

Please join us in 242 César Chávez from 11-12 as we learn some of the tools necessary to "grow old in a good way."

In that spirit.  I introduce:

The Native Women's Collective is a grassroots nonprofit organization that supports the continued growth of Native American arts and culture through public education, workshops, exhibits, research, cultural preservation projects, programs and technical assistance. The collective works to advance emerging and established artists and creative professionals by providing a network and forum for artists to share their work and exchange ideas with others.


Their website is:  http://www.nativewomenscollective.org/index.html

You can view several videos of featured artist and hear the song that inspired this posting.

Sneak Up: Statement of Purpose

Dopamine Regresssion by Melissa Cody

This Monday 24 October 2011 @ 11 AM in 242 César Chávez our Sneak Up will be lead by Student Learning Center Assistant Director Luisa Giulianetti.

Writing a Statement of Purpose is an art form and the time is at hand for statements:  graduate school applications, fellowships, research opportunities and grants.  Ms. Giulianetti will guide you through the ins and outs of crafting your best statement of self.  Writing these singular documents require vision, patience and creativity.  Join us as we take it one word and one line at a time.

Sneak Up

Things sneak up on you:  finals, exams, this and that, without explanation.  When you develop skills and power, you sneak up on them.

Every Monday from 11-12 at 242 César Chavez, Native American Student Development will host a Sneak Up.  Our goal is to help you develop the tools, skills and style you need to achieve the goals you've set.

The first Sneak Up will take place on Monday September 12.

Please feel free to suggest topics you'd like covered.

We will alternate between study skills, research opportunities, grant writing (and getting) and off campus opportunities.

Look for a full schedule to appear soon.  For now check in for the latest.
