Subject: The State of the Union and You (Important Information)
January 25, 2011
Dear TRIO Supporter:
As you are all aware, tonight President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address. The White House is hosting a series of calls, Twitter interviews, YouTube meetings, and forums that will focus on both education and jobs. Details about the various opportunities to communicate with the White House appear below. It is important that the TRIO community participates in these activities and that we continue to advocate and champion for our programs! Remember that every outreach and mention of TRIO is critical in advancing the programs and services to our students.
It is also important to note that tonight Pima Community College Upward Bound alumnus Daniel Hernandez will be sitting with First Lady Michelle Obama as a guest of the President. If you are not aware, Mr. Hernandez is an intern in the office of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and is being heralded as a key person in saving her life during the tragedy in Tucson earlier this month. I know all of us are proud and honored to have Daniel representing TRIO this evening.
If you have any questions about how to participate in this week’s State of the Union activities, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail Kimberly Jones ([log in to unmask] or 202.347.7430). Also, please send us the questions you submit so we have a list of participants.
Thank you in advance for your efforts and support in advocating for TRIO.
Sincerely,
Heather Valentine
Vice President of Public Policy and Communications
COE
