  5:00-8:00 PM The American Indian Nurturing
Parenting Program is a free 15-week family centered program designed
to strengthen families through education in empathy and caring, responsibility
and discipline, and family growth.
The program has proven to work in building caring, non-violent families.
Parents and children increase their empathy, learn nurturing ways to
encourage appropriate behaviors, build self-concept and self-esteem,
and learn to have fun as a family. The goal of the American
Indian Nurturing Parenting Program is to teach parents and children
the skills and attitudes necessary to care for themselves, others, and
their environment.

I write to ask your help in presenting a paid research opportunity to your students. At Colorado State University, the Graduate Center for Diversity and Access (GCDA) holds two grants designed to support underrepresented undergraduate students who are considering and/or preparing to go on to graduate school in a STEM field. Those grants, the McNair Scholars program and the AGEP Program allow us to run a joint summer research experience for upperclass students. The program also includes a class on how to decide on and apply to graduate programs. I will attach a flyer about that program. My question to you is "who can I work with to arrange a meeting with your students to share information about this opportunity?" Val Gallegos, Director of the McNair program, and I will be in Denver on Nov. 6th and could meet with your students that afternoon, or arrange another date that works better for you. I look forward to hearing from you (and meeting you soon, I hope). Regards, Elaine PS. If you will be at HACU this weekend, I will be at our booth (#601) on Saturday and Sunday. Stop by and say hello. Elaine Green, Ed.D.

email: 10/08/08 Hello Kasina, Alicia, Lisa, Joel and Stephanie, My name is Lynne and I'm an instructor at DU and also a member of the Transform Columbus Day Alliance, which is a Denver-based group that works on raising awareness about the legacy of Columbus and the larger issues of human rights and justice for indigenous/first nation peoples. We are fast-approaching the time of year when we have our biggest activities, and this year, we're hoping to have a stronger partnership with student groups across Denver. Your 5 student groups came up either through recommendations from DU faculty or word of mouth as I was asking around. I have 2 things to ask of each of you--the first is to review the schedule of events below and please forward widely to your group's membership (pay close attention to #4, which heavily involves student groups). The second part is if your groups would like to become more involved in the planning for the Monday event, please write me back so I can give you the details for our final planning meeting this week.
