ENLACE (ENgaging LAtino Communities for Education)

ENLACE's Mission:

To increase the high school AND college retention and graduation rates of Latino and other students at the higher education institutes around the state of New Mexico while smoothing the transition process from one level of the education pipeline to the next. We know that students who have support systems in place have a higher success rate of college completion. Through access to academic and financial support services we motivate our students toward the successful completion of their post-secondary education goals.

There are 32 programs that are ran state wide from pre-K to Graduate level, but here in Albuquerque their main focus is on the mentoring program and the parent engagement program.

The Mentoring program is primarily funded through the New Mexico Legislature although they do receive non-endowed foundational support on occasion. Employees who are work study qualified are able to receive it. There are also positions available for those that are not work-study qualified. Student employees are required to have a minimum of 2.5 GPA, good people skills and able to connect with people, data collection, and mandatory monthly training. The mentor leaders are very informal. They receive training and curriculum, and are allowed to adjust it for the needs of the high school that they are mentoring at.

The mentors meet with students after school. It is available to anyone who is attending the school that networks with ENLACE. Depending on the school the student participation differs. On average they receive 15-20 students, but there are days were very few students attend. They choose to stay small, so advertising is done mainly through the UNM Jobs website. They have a very high retention rate of 90%.

CEOP (College Enrichment and Outreach Programs)

Mission

The College Enrichment Program (CEP) is responsible for providing leadership in the development, implementation and coordination of student support services and activities which are designed to assist CEP students' academic achievement and their personal, cultural and social development. CEP provides guidance and counseling support to students in all areas relevant to their persistence and eventual success on campus, including overall adjustment, academic advising, career selection and financial aid advisement. Particular emphasis is given to assisting students from backgrounds which are currently underrepresented at the University. CEP supports the initiatives of the University in a cooperative effort through its outreach programs for pre-college students, the enhancement of community partnerships, and the recruitment of prospective undergraduate, graduate and professional students.

College Prep Programs

The purpose of College Prep Programs (CPP) is to promote P-20 student success and post-secondary education, from college awareness to college readiness, through academics, career exploration, civic engagement, college-life and leadership development for students from low-income and first generation college-attending families in New Mexico and across the country. There are several programs that consist of the CPP; Natural High Program (NH), College Prep Mentoring (CM), College Readiness (CR), and Summer College Prep Programs (SCPP).

The Natural High program (NH) operates during both the fall and spring semesters. Natural High (NH) promotes leadership development and teambuilding, specifically through cooperative games and low ropes facilitated by Educational Mentor/Tutors (EMTs) on UNM's campus as well as off site at schools and community organizations, in addition to mentoring and tutoring, to promote student success and post-secondary education.

College Prep Programs (CPP) hires and trains Educational Mentors/Tutors (EMTs) to visit and collaborate with different schools and community partners throughout Albuquerque and the state of New Mexico. The EMTs are an integral part of the program not only because they are the engine that makes the program function, but also because they serve as role models for the students with whom they work. EMTs come from different backgrounds and have personally experienced some of the same challenges their protegees are currently experiencing. Through tutoring, mentoring and motivating the youth at the different schools, our EMTs are setting an example of success. EMTs are selected based on their experience, desire to work with students, and their academic excellence.

The Natural High program is multifaceted and applicable to a wide variety of individuals. NH consists of: the low ropes course, cooperative games, individualized and group mentoring/tutoring as well as assistance with college awareness and readiness through presentations and workshops. Throughout the academic year different schools and/or community organizations request to work with CPP and participate in the low ropes course or the cooperative games. These two components are open to any group P-20.

*Because of safety and effectiveness, Natural High (NH) can currently only offer cooperative games for participants in 3rd grade and older and the low ropes course for 6th grade and older.

The College Prep Mentoring Programs (CPM) operates throughout both the fall and spring semesters. College Prep Mentoring (CPM) connects UNM students as Educational Mentor/Tutors (EMTs) in K-12 schools and community sites to promote student success and post-secondary education.

College Prep Programs (CPP) Educational Mentors/Tutors (EMTs) are placed at schools and community organizations throughout Albuquerque with an emphasis on K-12 students. The EMTs are an integral part of the program, not only because they are the engine that makes the program function, but also because they serve as role models for the students with whom they work. EMTs come from different backgrounds and have personally experienced some of the same challenges their protegees are currently experiencing. Through tutoring, mentoring and motivating the youth at the different schools, EMTs set an example of success. EMTs also provide valuable information and guidance to the students and their families regarding the different options for colleges and universities. This information includes matriculation information including financial aid, admissions and various academic support programs. EMTs are selected based on their experience, desire to work with students, and their academic excellence.

During the College Readiness Program students participate in a Summer Session, Senior Year Monthly Seminars, and Senior Year Meetings with Educational Mentor/Tutors students (EMT). In the Summer Session students stay on campus for 3 days/2 nights to experience campus life of UNM. During this time students participate in philanthropy activity, college readiness preparation workshops and presenters, leadership skills activities, and team building exercises.

During the Senior Year Monthly Seminars students are required to attend twice monthly Saturday seminars on campus throughout their senior year were information and help are offered with the goal of successfully registering all participant in a post-secondary education institution. During the seminars students will be instructed through;

During Senior Year Meetings with Educational Mentor/Tutors students (EMT) will be provided provides one-on-one help with scholarship searches and processes, financial aid and any other help the student might need. Students meet with their EMT once every other week on the UNM Campus. In order to participate students must;

CEP is committed to assisting students with excelling at the University of New Mexico. As a student retention program, CEP strives to provide quality services to meet students' academic, social and personal needs. CEP encourages parents to become a partner with the program in order to assist their child in the best way possible.

Upward Bound

Student Support and Services-TRiO (SSS)

SSS is one of three TRiO programs originally funded under the Higher Education Act of 1965, U.S. Department of Education Office of TRiO Programs. SSS at The University of New Mexico is one of over 900 programs nationally designed to increase the academic performance, retention and graduation rates of program participants. SSS provides first-generation college students from moderate and low-income families with resources and services that will assist them to stay in school, do well, and graduate. Services consist of;

The academic advising is one of the largest benefits of being of this program. Individualized time is set aside for each student. Participants meet with SSS advisors on a regular basis by appointment. They meet the needs of participants by offering extended hours to provide student advisement beyond the typical 8-5 schedule. All advisors are knowledgeable about financial aid and the process and/will guide students through the process. All interactions between student and the advisor are confidential.

There are individualized tutorial services that are available to participants. The tutors will provide academic support in the following course subjects:

The goal of the mentoring aspect of SSS is to improve the retention and graduation rates. SSS mentors are upperclassmen, who are familiar with the processes and procedures of UNM, have exhibited academic proficiency and leadership abilities. The mentors help participants by helping them to adjust to college life at UNM and promote and encourage their mentees to participate in events and activities to develop campus involvement. The mentors offer their own experiences to assist their mentees in whatever issues arise.

SSS will only accept 160 participants during an academic year. There are several requirements that one must meet to particapate in SSS;

SACNAS Lobos (Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science)

SACNAS Lobos is a network of diverse and motivated current and future scientific leaders at the University of New Mexico. We share a dedication to advancing the work, improving the effectiveness, and enhancing the public understanding and appreciation for Chicanos, Latinos, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other underrepresented minorities in science. We are a chapter of a national non-profit organization which fosters the success of scientists at all levels of training with the goal of advancing these individuals into careers and positions of leadership in science. SACNAS Lobos will provide a community for students from a diverse range of majors, primarily science and science related majors, to come together for academic, community service, and social activities at the University of New Mexico.

(http://sites.google.com/site/sacnaslobosunm/home)

The SACNAS Lobos UNM chapter is a chartered student organization at the University of New Mexico. Membership is open to enrolled students, faculty, staff, and community members of UNM, the surrounding community colleges, and high schools. In order to qualify they ask you come to meetings in order to vote for officers and they also participate in several events throughout the year. At one of their more recent meetings they decided that they would like to host an event that will be a resource event for high school students and their families to get information on UNM and specifically the areas of science. This event is still under development so they can present the proposal to UNM, APS, and CNM.

Since navigating around UNM and finding resources/connections are some of the biggest problems that incoming High School students have to face they are also developing an event where they can give incoming students and their parent's information about the school before they even get here. It will be a resource event about advising, organizations, campus tours, classes, etc., and will be expanded to a mentor program where incoming students will be paired up with one of our members when they get to UNM to get more resources and any help they need settling in.

As of now there are no high school students that attend their meetings but they are eligible to be a part of their organization and can come to their regular meeting times and events. Because they are a student organization all of their funding comes from fundraising events, and have no hired employees. The main SACNAS organization hires employees for the national offices. They are hoping to host their first event for the high school students at the beginning of the next school year so that is where their focus and efforts are being directed.
