The State of Alaska does outreach and early awareness to promote higher education. They are currently recruiting students who will be in 6-8th grade this upcoming school year to profile in their middle school newspaper highlighting students from around the state with their college and career aspirations. They need more students from the Interior to include in their Fall 2011 edition of the newspaper! They just need a brief questionnaire from students, a good quality photo, and a parent permission form (all attached) for submission to the paper, which is distributed statewide. Here is a link to a previous edition of the paper to give you an idea of what the layout is: http://akadvantage.alaska.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=NORRd2SjXNY%3d&tabid=154&mid=572. They need all materials back no later than August 1st, but the sooner the better!
Feel free to contact Helena with any questions.
