Updates

Dear URI Faculty,

Our weekly Updates will also be available on the URI Website's "Updates" section.

I'm listing our updates in order of importance

1. Our newest Team member! I'm introducing Ms. Anh Nguyet Nguyen the URI Program Coordinator. She will help you coordinate the program's mentorship agreements, rosters, status updates, vendor set-up, travel, events, and much more. Send your deliverables on to her and I from now onwards.

1. Inform your students they were and were not accepted: You all received the Master list of team/mentors last week, please inform those who entered the program and those who did not.
   1. I have already received questions from students who told me they didn't hear if they got in or not. Please let all your students know.

1. Gathering Mentorship Agreements: The first step in URI is for the Mentors and students to meet together, to complete and sign the mentorship agreement. This says the location, time, and date for their mentoring meetings and status updates.
   1. Can you please photos/scan of these signed agreements sent to Anh by Friday, November 1st.
   2. There is a video in English explaining this document to the students & mentors

1. Online Seminar Friday, November 1st
   1. Please review the event website and agenda for the online seminar on the afternoon of Friday, November 1st.
   2. Please send an RSVP roster for the event to Anh by Oct. 31st
   3. Please collect a signed roster for the event.
   4. Please ask that your students join you in one room together at your school.

1. Train Mentors to use the meeting sign-in Sheets: The mentors and the students will need to keep a signed roster (sign-in sheet) and photos of their meetings. I updated the roster file on the URI website so the mentors can print and have students sign for each meeting.
