Summer Opportunity – UO: SAIL Program

The University of Oregon provides their Summer Academy to Inspire Learning (SAIL) to Oregon high school students each summer. Not only is this an excellent (FREE) opportunity to spend time on the beautiful University of Oregon campus during July, but the SAIL program provides students the opportunity to get a head start on preparing for college.

Third Trimester Student Mentors Needed!!!

Are you one of those students who loves to come to the aid of friends when they’re struggling? Do you enjoy volunteering to share your ideas? Do you write thoughtful responses that go above and beyond the expectations?  Are you a strong writer who would like to assist other students as they edit their work?

Consider applying to become a student mentor. Not only do you get the chance to help your fellow students, assigned a special seat at one of the tables in the class, but you earn Cougar Pride Bucks for your hard work.

Students who are interested must meet the guidelines below:

  • Up to date, high quality assignments
  • Consistently demonstrated strong work ethic
  • At least an A- in Social Literacy
  • A willingness to help others

Please respond to the questions at this link no later than Friday, April 6th, to apply to become a student mentor. Make sure you are logged into your 4J Google account when you submit the form.

  • If you currently have a B+, but would still like to be considered, please see me individually before filling out the form.
