Dear
Colleague:
In
speaking with counselors from throughout the region, it has come to my
attention that many were unable to attend one of the University of California
Counselor Conferences this fall. In response to this information, we have
quickly arranged a Counselor Update for professionals like you.
On
October 28, 2009 we are hosting a Counselor Update in collaboration with the UC
Merced Center for Educational Partnerships. During the program, we will provide
important highlights from the University of California system and our campus
regarding admissions and financial aid. The complimentary program will be held
at the UC Center, located at 550 East Shaw Avenue in Fresno. Registration
begins at 7:30 AM and the program adjourns at 10:30 AM. I hope you can join us
for this brief but informative dialogue.
Please
register online at admissions.ucmerced.edu/counselors-and-educators.
Space is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please
see the attached agenda for additional details. If you have any questions,
contact Alex Delgadillo at (209) 228-4625 or La Toya Brown at (209) 228-4253.
I hope
to see you on October 28th.
Sincerely,
Encarnacion

HIGH
SCHOOL PROGRAM:
UC
Merced is pleased to host a Counselor Update this fall. The event is designed
to provide counselors with valuable information about the UC Merced campus and
the University of California application process. We hope that our
presentations will help you advise your students about applying to the
University of California. We are also eager to hear your perspective and
address any questions you may have.
The
first part of the program will focus on admission, selection, financial aid,
academic programs and housing. The second half of the event will focus on the
application process, personal statement and a discussion of how eligibility is
earned and maintained (“D” and “F” grades, GPA
calculations, and more).
