CSUF Educational Symposium
|
The Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership (C-REAL) at Cal State Fullerton promotes a vision and mission that focuses on social justice, equity, access, and success for all students. As part of this mission, C-REAL is hosting a symposium titled, "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity: On Your Campus and In Your Classroom," on December 6 to address the educational concerns of the LGBTQ community.
Educational concerns for LGBTQ students exist in our schools and colleges. Issues include harassment, invisibility, the "coming out" process, gender neutral restrooms, creating safe spaces for interaction, bullying, violence, and negative stereotypes about social characteristics and academic potential.
The main purpose of the symposium is to bring together a series of expert speakers and panelists to address the aforementioned issues that affect our communities and schools.
ALL participants must register. Student registration is $30, and non-student registration is $80.
If you're interested in attending, we have a limited number of registration fee waivers available. Contact Jodi Balma if you're interested.

Personal Statement Tips |
Fretting over your personal statement? Fussing about ways to proceed? Then take a break and read some helpful hints from Berkeley, UCI, UCLA and other great schools. These tips derive from meetings over the years with key admissions personnel, as well as from presentations at the National Collegiate Honors Council conference. I hope you don't think of your essay as something you can do well at the last minute. It takes thought. And time. Teachers who offer workshops in the personal statement advise you to allow several weeks (some say months) to prepare it.
So let's get started - read the full article below:
Personal Statement by Chuck Whitechurch
Here is another informational sheet from UC Santa Barbara to help you write your personal statement for the UC Apps:
http://admissions.sa.ucsb.edu/Pdf/PersonalStatement.pdf |
Research and Conferences
|
Presenting your academic research at a conference is a great opportunity to set yourself apart from the crowd when you're applying for transfer. As an honors student, you can apply for the Honors Transfer Council of California's Research Conference next spring (conference date: Saturday, April 5, 2014). If you're writing a research paper this semester, you can easily use that topic as your presentation material.
More information about the Honors Transfer Council of California Research Conference: http://htcca.org/students/
Please fill out the HTCC Application Form and return it to Jodi Balma by December 15th.

Writing Center Workshops
|
The Writing Center offers various workshops throughout the semester to help you develop your writing skills. You do not need to register, but arrive early to ensure you get a space. Room 808
These are the upcoming workshops:
Monday, November 25, 11:00-11:50 How to Be an Active Reader (Jacqueline Cooper) Reading may seem like a quiet, sedate activity, but effective readers are anything but passive. In this workshop, you will learn and practice techniques and strategies to read more effectively.
Tuesday, November 26, 3:00-3:50 Transitions: How to Move Seamlessly between Paragraphs (Shawn Quirk) Participants will outline examples of essays in which writers have effectively used transitional words, phrases, and sentences to create connections between paragraphs. Furthermore, a writing exercise will be given to help participants create their own transitional elements.

UCLA's Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)
|
UCLA's Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) is a collaboration between local community college Honors/Scholars Programs and UCLA College (Letters and Science) in conjunction with Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools. The program is designed to foster academic excellence at the community college level and to promote diversity and retention in the UCLA transfer population. Member community colleges like Fullerton College provide enriched general education curricula emphasizing critical thinking, writing, and research through their Honors programs.
TAP Applications will be available in January in the Honors Office. Students who are Honors Certified at Fullerton College receive priority consideration for admission to UCLA College (Letters and Science). Admitted TAP students are eligible to apply for scholarships reserved for the Transfer Alliance Program. (FC Honors Alumni Maria Duque and Shayne Wiggins received $5,000 scholarships for the next two years at UCLA as TAP scholars)
