7/2/2010: GEARUP Students in Topeka Kansas wrap up Summer Project.

Eight high school students in the Topeka, Kansas school district received mentoring support from professionals to make the connection between their interests, natural abilities, and career/post-secondary education options. Linda Un, Telementoring Coordinator from the University of Kansas wrote the following to the mentors yesterday: Thank you so much for being a mentor in the project. Being that it is the very first Summer Program that included Telementoring, I think it was an overall success. For the most part, I think students have a better understanding of college access and career research and planning. During the celebration, a few of the students asked if they could join the summer program next year and the parents were supportive of the idea. That is a very promising sign.

Thanks to Linda and all of the mentors for supporting these students over the summer. We are making headway with this summer program!

For youth,

David Neils
ITP Director
