Attention Cencal Members, If you have an incoming freshman student coming into Fresno State who you feel needs some guidance as we approach the beginning of the school year, we (ELL/Upward Bound CSUFresno) are holding an mini- orientation for incoming TRIO students to welcome them and get them ready for our university. Last year, we had actual FSU personnel & advisors give short presentations from everything to classes to take in general ed, financial aid pay schedules, how to sign up for SSS program on our campus, where to go for tutorials at Fresno State, scholarship office, community service, what will go on the first week of Fresno State, etc. You name it we did it with them, so they could feel a little less stressed the first week of school here. This can also get your freshman to join the UBAC (Upward Bound Alumni Club), who will be doing a student panel at the end and meet one on one to mentor the new students into Fresno State, UBAC is open to all students even Educational Talent Search... Space is limited to about 30 slots, and they will fill up fast, so if you know a student who will be coming here to Fresno State, have them call to reserve their spot ASAP or forward them the flyer below.. THANKS CENCAL, and we'll see all of you Friday August 20th in San Luis Obispo for the Cencal Meeting.  ben Bernardo Reynoso Academic & Curriculum Specialist Upward Bound Program California State University, Fresno (559) 278-5347 (559) 278-4306 * [log in to unmask] "And will you succeed?
