SEA Participates in Best Practices Showcase, March 2003

Staff members from Student Educational Advancement (SEA) joined other Student Affairs personnel and programs in participating in the Best Practices Showcase sponsored by Student Affairs at the Price Center in March.

The showcase allowed representatives of Student Affairs’ myriad programs to come together to gain more knowledge of each other’s activities, and to demonstrate how staffers are using Best Practices concepts to accomplish their various goals and objectives.

SEA also used the opportunity to introduce its newly designed banner that illustrates its Educational Continuum cluster concept. The banner shows how the SEA cluster enhances students’ college and academic preparation from elementary/middle school through high school, undergraduate school and graduate school admission.

The banner, 35 feet long and six feet wide, features an arrow which spans the length of the banner, and highlighted by the motto “Student Educational Advancement – Making Educational Dreams Reality.” The banner also includes photographs of students as they participate in SEA programs at various educational levels.

SEA programs represented at the Best Practices Showcase were: Early Academic Outreach Programs (EAOP); TRIO Outreach Programs; Consortium of Community, High Schools, Universities and the Medical School (CHUM); Academic Enrichment Programs (AEP); Office of Academic Support, & Instructional Services (OASIS); California Student Opportunity and Access Program (Cal-SOAP); Outreach Communication Center (OCC), and Academic Connections Program (ACP).

The event also featured talks by Joseph Watson, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, and a panel discussion on increasing the number of ethnically underrepresented student at UCSD which included Loren Thompson, assistant Vice Chancellor of Student Educational Advancement; Rafael Hernandez, director of EAOP; David Artis, director of AEP, and Patrick Velasquez, director of OASIS.
