Hello PDS!
 
I hope everyone is having an amazing quarter! Here is what's on this week's newsletter:
 
Meeting
There is a meeting this week on Thursday, May 2nd. It will be held at the Cervantes and Velasquez Conference Room (on the 3rd floor of the Baytree Bookstore) from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. A Kaplan representative will be giving a presentation about KAPLAN’s course to help prepare students for the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). Everyone interested in going to dental needs to take this test, so come to the meeting to learn more about how to prepare for it! There might be a special raffle at the end too!!!

Motivation Conference (MC): a 2 1/2-day non-yield outreach program (Friday May 24-Sunday May 26th) that targets underprivileged Asian American/ Pacific Islander (AA/PI) high school students from under resourced and under represented communities. This non-yield outreach program is a student-ran, student-led program that outreaches to students who have not been accepted to the university. MC targets AA/PI high school students who have not thought about higher education as an option, or do not feel that higher education is a space for them.

• MC is looking for general volunteers to help out during the 2 ½ day conference. There are a multitude of volunteer opportunities through this event- if you wish you interact with the students themselves you have the opportunity to do so; if you’d rather do some ‘behind the scenes’ work (food deliver and service, planning committee, poster making, etc) you may choose to do so!
• Meetings are every Monday at 8:00PM @ The SOAR offices
• For more information email apisa.slugs@gmail.com
