The Office of Community and School Partnerships is seeking IU students to serve as mentors for its Spring Shadow Program. The program was developed to give high school students a realistic college experience while classes are in session to better prepare them for the rigors of college life. Participants will join their mentors, attending classes, staying in campus residence halls, participating in various activities, and interacting with university students and staff members. You may choose to participate in any of the three sessions: March 28-30, April 4-6, and April 11-13, 2010. E-mail kmorris@indiana.edu for details.
