New Scholarship for College!

Alaska Airlines has generously created a scholarship that provides financial assistance for ABE/GED and ESL students attending college credits programs. The scholarship will pay for books and tuition for up to 10 credits for one quarter. There is also an opportunity for additional funding for a second quarter for those students who maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Ten scholarships will be offered this year.

Please let me know if you have questions or you can go to the Transition Center in 19-103 for more details.

Snow this week?

It looks like it may snow tomorrow. Please see this forecast.

Earthquake Preparation

We talked in class about how to prepare for earthquakes. Here is a link to some resources: http://www.govlink.org/3days3ways/buildakit.html

It is always important to be ready because you never know when an earthquake will strike. See what happened in New Zealand yesterday: http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/02/22/new.zealand.earthquake/index.html
