URep UMass: Ready, Set, Apply!
Good afternoon,
I hope this e-mail finds you all in good physical & mental health, and that your academic years are off to a great start!
I wanted to share with you an opportunity that high school seniors may be interested in. We will be hosting URep UMass: Ready, Set, Apply! college application workshops, at the UMass Center in Springfield (Tower Square) on Thursday, October 21 from 6-8pm and Saturday, December 11 from 1-3pm.
During these workshops, students will be guided through the following topics:
We are inviting all high school seniors from Western Mass and Worcester County, although we will welcome Juniors as well. These workshops are intended to go over each step of the application process. An invitation went out on Saturday, 10/2 to all prospective seniors from the specified regions in our database, so many of your seniors may have received it in their e-mails already. (That said, it could have also gone into their spam folder)
Thank you in advance for sharing with the student populations you work with, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
All my best,
Jasmine

Summer Bridge Program at STCC
This popular Summer Bridge Program offers incoming Fall 2021 students registered in a STEM major, a jumpstart to their first semester on campus. This summer the participants will receive their first Math class and First-year experience class tuition-free (4 credits) thereby giving them a head start to their STCC college experience. The students will participate in an intense Math bootcamp and Blackboard training sessions the week before Summer Session II to prepare them to handle intense summer classes. In addition, they will also receive free supplies, tutoring, peer-mentoring, and advising which will be continued until they graduate or transfer. They will also have the privilege to participate in enriching STEM experiences, events, and activities. These opportunities give the students confidence and teaches them the tools to advocate for themselves. The friendships they make over the summer helps them to form study groups and support they need when new at the college.
This program also increases awareness and familiarity with STCC campus resources such as tutoring, library, STEM majors and events, financial aid, advising, registration, career counseling, gym, student governance, cafeteria, and parking. Students have reported stronger connections with faculty and staff. Peer- mentoring has proved to be a valuable tool for our students to face the rigor of a STEM major. Students will earn a $500 stipend upon successful completion with a C grade or higher. Students will also have opportunities to apply for internships and scholarships.
Program Requirements
Dates: July 5 - Aug 12, 2021
