[Englmajors] Volunteer Tutors Needed for College Prep Program

[Melissa Wensel]

Rainier Scholars is a GREAT program.  I encourage all students, but 
particularly students of color, to apply to be a tutor.  Think about it: 
  You could be personally responsible for helping a talented middle 
school student, somebody who maybe never even thought he or she could go 
to college, earn a B.A!  It's so important for these kids to meet 
successful UW students, and for you to model the intellectual habits 
that have created your academic success.  If you're interested, please 
contact Jolenta Coleman at the number or email below.
