5. HBCU Presentation (non-voting item)
Abner Pagunuran
The HBCU trip will be held on March 27 to April 1 during spring break so that students will not miss class. We work with the organization Stepping in the Right Direction to bring students to visit History Black Colleges. In the past we visited 2 universities a day, brought resumes and were being ready to apply the school. Also colleges were ready to accept these spots.
This year we plan to bring 6 Students (3 males and 3 females) and 1 Chaperone. It costs $1,700 per person including airfare, hotel, 3 meals a day, travel, and backpack with a journal.
Trygve Vandal
Last year we brought more students than this year, so the total expense is more than this year.
Lameshia Reese-Tayler
Who can qualify to attend this trip?
Abner Pagunuran
The application will be done near the middle of the winter quarter. It will be open to all students but we will prioritize based on the student’s interests on history black college.
Lameshia Reese-Tayler
Do we know how many students got acceptance from these schools from last year?
Abner Pagunuran
Last year students who attended were no ready to transfer, so no person got acceptance. This year we will refine the application so that students prepare and are willing to apply the colleges.
Robert Stewart
Do we have the transfer acceptance rate? Are there any local college go to this tour?
Abner Pagunuran
We can get back the data from the individual college. I don’t know any local college goes to the tour, but there are other colleges from other state also go to the tour.
Sammy Akeyo
I can share the data from some of the colleges….
Evan Bowman
Who will be the Chaperon and involving the selection?
Abner Pagunuran
Nora and me are working on that. We are looking for the chaperon who is familiar with the trip and is easy to communicate with.
Trygve Vandal
If there is any timeline set up for the application and selection process?
Abner Pagunuran
We haven’t set up the time because it will happen in the winter quarter. But we are still reforming the application so that the application will be more comprehensive than last year.
Trygve Vandal
I suggest that the people who design and write the application can also attend the selection committee to target the certain candidates. Make sure the GPA minimum is set higher to 2.7.
