Welcome to the Spring 2008 Semester!
Please note IMPORTANT changes in the Sac-Mentoring Program.

The Sac-MENTORING Program is an experiential learning course designed to integrate theory and practice for Sac State students by acting as a catalyst for an engaging mentoring relationship.  We are proud to partner with the Healthy Start Program at Hiram Johnson High School and the counseling staff at Rosemont High School.  This collaboration has allowed for the creation of a program that matches collegians and students in an effort to provide youth with a positive role model and friend.  In doing so, the Sac-MENTORING Program provides a reciprocal learning environment while at the same time, providing an important service to our community.  Sac-MENTORING has also engaged in a partnership with Sacramento County's Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program which allows Sac State students to become a proactive voice for a child in need.  The CASA program provides an extensive training regimen and students who choose to enroll in the CASA alternative will have different learning parameters and academic requirements to receive credit towards graduation than those who are matched with youth from the high schools.  If you would like more information about the Sac-MENTORING Program, please contact program staff.  This year we received a very limited amount of funds forcing us to streamline our operations.  We appreciate your understanding as we continue to work together to provide mentoring activities for youth in our community.

In spite an absence of funding, we are looking forward to a productive year and have some great group activities planned again for this semester.  PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS PLEASE NOTE:  This course will be available on WebCT6 and I strongly recommend that students who enroll in the class have some experience working in WebCT6 as there is a great deal of information that will be shared using this medium of instruction.  Be prepared to check WebCT at least three times each week for periodic updates and additions to the calendar of events at CSUS that might be of interest to you and your protege.  Using the link to our forms page in the left margin above, visit this page and download the entire application packet and syllabus to determine if you are ready to commit to all the course requirements.  If so, follow the instructions provided in the packet you download and turn them into our office Alpine 203 no later than January 31, 2008.  Training well be held on the dates specified in the syllabus so it is important that you complete all the required tasks detailed in the application packet prior to your return to campus at the end of January.  I look forward to seeing you during the first week of classes!
