“Helping Students Realize Their Full Potential”

13th Annual LATINX Leadership Summit

In collaboration with the CU Denver Career Center, TRiO SSS is de-lighted to announce the upcoming TRiO Etiquette Dinner. Appropriate dinner etiquette can be nerve racking, especially in professional and formal settings. Join us for a formal dinner experience, designed to address common questions about fine dining, networking, and profes-sional expectations in social settings. This is a unique opportunity open to all Juniors and Seniors within the TRiO SSS program. Attendance to

the dinner will count as one workshop credit towards semester book scholarship requirements. Interested TRiO SSS participants may register through their CU Denver Handshake Portal. Space is limited, so make sure to RSVP as soon as possible. If you are interested in attending, would like additional information, or have any questions, please contact Michael Mendoza, at michael.mendoza@ucdenver.edu.

Event Details: When: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 | Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Where: Zenith Room (Tivoli 640)

Cost: Free! | Dress Code: Formal attire is required

With these efforts we intend to build a stronger sense of community, belonging, leadership capacity, and a sense of activism that permeates our campus

and local communities.

TRiO Student Support Services is delighted to spotlight Kevin Li for the March newslet-ter. As a first-generation and low-income student, he has faced challenges navigating the university. His favorite quote by Tony Robbins states, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” This quote has motivated him to tackle his fears to be open to try new experiences and not be afraid of taking chances. Wanting to be successful and graduate, Kevin decided to be active on the CU Denver Campus. This included joining campus organizations, utilizing the student resources, working on campus, participating in several programs to expose him to various healthcare careers (Undergraduate Pre-Health Program, Health Interest Program, and the Colorado Colle-giate Health Professions Development Program), community outreach, and service learning. With the mindset of doing something different and out of his comfort zone, Kevin dived into improving his leadership skills. He held both the Treasurer and President positions of the Society of TRiO Students Club. In addition, he served as the Secretary and Vice-President of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers Organization. While partici-pating in the healthcare programs, Kevin received a better understanding of the major health disparities we face in our community. He was a member of the Council of Asian Student Leaders organization. He is also a Reisher Scholar Recipient. Recently, he at-tended the Transcend Auraria Social Justice Retreat, which helped attendees deepen their exploration and understanding of issues related to diversity, inclusion, identity, power, privilege and oppression. He also participated in the LYNX Day of Service. He stated, “There are always interesting events to attend on campus, from enriching work-shops to cultural events. I try to go to as many as I can because when else am I going

to have such opportunities available after I graduate.”

When asked about his overall experience at CU Denver Kevin stated, “College has helped me grow a lot as a person and to develop skills such as time management and leadership. I have met so many new and diverse people at CU Denver through my extracurricular involvement and I have made great friendships.” When he started college, he wished that some-one had told him, “It is okay if you do not really know what you want to do with the rest of your life, yet.” He now knows he had time to consider his options and thus feels confident with the choices he has made. His favorite experience in college was completing a LYNX Alternative Break Service Learning Project through the CU Denver Community Engagement de-partment. He traveled to Miami, Florida. The group volunteered with an organization called Urban Paradise Guild to combat food injustice in urban communities. Kevin shared his advice for other participants, “TRiO is more than just a book scholarship, so take advantage of your re-sources and use them wisely. TRiO supported me throughout college by helping me find resources and providing mentor-ship. TRiO has been my home away from home. I am glad that I stumbled into the office my first year of college as a lost freshman.” Not only has Kevin been a participant in the program, he also had the opportunity to work in the office. He stat-ed, “Working for TRiO as a front office staff and peer mentor had me step out of my com-fort zone and learn new skills.” His short-term goals include staying focused this semester despite a case of “Senioritis.” He would like to make the most out of his last semester as an undergrad. For the future, Kevin is applying to Public Health graduate school programs and he hopes to find employ-ment related to his career. He also plans to travel abroad to experience and learn about different cultures. If he won the lottery Kevin states, “I would pay back my parents for eve-rything they did for me and buy them a dream vacation.” Kevin’s hobbies include hiking, trying new food, running, listening to music, playing tennis, and learning about other cul-tures. He will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health and a mi-nor in Biology this semester. Our office looks forward to seeing Kevin meet his goal to graduate and to move onto graduate studies. Final thought – Step outside your comfort zone and remember to challenge yourself to try new experiences. You may end up appreciating the result.

Student Spotlight - Kevin Li

Jessica Pineda, a TRiO SSS student, traveled to France, Morocco, and Spain for the Win-terim program, “Europe and the Islamic World” taught by Professor Lori Willard. The focus of this program was to broaden students' cultural sensitivity and encourage them to reflect on their role as citizens of our deeply interconnected global community. As part of the pro-gram, participants met with distinguished scholars, local guides, and experts in the fields of politics, history and culture. Students also experienced the sights, sounds and tastes of these Mediterranean regions. When asked about her experience she stated, “I truly loved my experience while abroad. I enjoyed the various foods from France to Morocco: Spanish Paella, Tapas, Crème Bluea, Flan, a candy called “Bueno”, and traditional dishes of Morocco. The fish in Morocco was delicious. The chocolate that was from all the countries that I visited was quite delicious too! I had such a great time in Morocco, and I wish to take my family there someday!” This program held much significance to Jessica as she stated, “I truly enjoyed my experi-ences because I found out more about myself and my own identity. From this experience, I developed a deeper pride in my roots, more so then I have ever felt in my life. I felt happy to be different because you may never know if your differences are considered normal in an-other country. I can tell people with confidence who I am now, in a way that I never thought I could before. I am proud to say to all who ask that I am a first generation Guatemalan American! This experience created a sense of curiosity and optimism in what other opportu-nities are available to participate in, and I want to pursue these opportunities and explore.” When asked how she would encourage other TRiO SSS Participants to consider studying abroad, Jessica stated, “I would encourage anyone who is considering studying abroad to do so, because these experiences open your mind to new perspectives both globally and nationally. Of course, there will be a mixture of bad and good experiences, but your overall experience will depend on what you wish to reflect upon most. You get a new essence of how others live and how different each others’ lives may be to another. By studying abroad, you begin to question social norms within your own experiences, this allows you to see var-ying ideologies and think critically as well.” When asked what other information she would share about her study abroad experience, Jessica mentioned, “I’ve learned much more about world history through this experience. I learned that Christopher Columbus got his idea of traveling to the other side of the world from using applications of math and science, which the Islamic culture had invented, since the Catholic Church did not believe in using science and math at that time. I also learned that language acquisition is emphasized abroad, unlike much of the United States, and this has always interested me. Thanks to this study abroad program, I am pursuing a minor in Linguistics as of fall 2017!” Jessica is majoring in Political Science and International Studies with minors in Law and Linguistics. She is an active participant in the program and plans to pursue a career in the United Nations. She is currently seeking internship opportunities in Washington, DC and other places where she can broaden and further develop her skills.

International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating and recognizing the social, economic, and political achievements of women. This day has been observed since the early 1900s, which was a time of great expansion and tur-bulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and de-termination by “ordinary” women who played an extraordinary role in the his-tory of their countries. This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, which will be celebrated on March 8 2017, will focus on “Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030”.

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights” ~ Gloria Steinem, World renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist.

The best way to manage stress is to learn healthy coping strategies. Stress coping is very different for each individual, it is just a matter of time and exploration to find the perfect coping strategy that fits your lifestyle and personality. The following are a few suggestions on how to cope with stress: Do something that you enjoy: Doing something that you enjoy will help you relax and it might help you get more done in other areas of your life. For example: Working on a hobby such as gardening. Doing a creative activity such as writing, crafts, painting or drawing. Playing and caring for pets. Exercise/ Meditation: Exercise is one of the best ways to cope with stress, but it doesn’t mean you have to be at the gym to get in your exercise, it can be

done during everyday activities such as housecleaning. Practicing a certain type of meditation techniques or just having some time for yourself where you can focus on yourself, mind and breathing is another great stress reliever.

Let your feelings out: Talk, laugh, cry, and express anger when you need to. Talking with friends, family, and a counselor about what you are feeling can

help you cope with stressors. Counseling Center Workshops: Consider taking a Stress Less workshop at the CU Denver Student and Community Counseling Center. This workshop is offered

the 1st Wednesday of each month during the semester from 4 pm - 6 pm. You will learn how to tolerate frustration, calm yourself down when you are feeling overwhelmed, develop a crisis survival network, create your own create your own stress busting tool kit, and keep stress in perspective.

College Students Lack Healthy Food

Sometimes it is difficult to determine what the right food is for an individual. Being a college student it can be a battle to choose between convenience food or to consume a meal that will take a little while to prepare but contains all the nutri-tion that the body requires in order to function properly. The health science community states that healthy eating habits lead to better academic success. However, for college students, eating healthy is not always that easy to do. According to the American Dietetic Association, college students consume more than thirty percent of their calories from fats. One of the study’s authors, Brad Cardinal who is a professor of exercise and sport science at Oregon State University, concluded that even though college students consume fewer meals, the students were on average not always eating even one serving of fruits or vegetables per day. The highest amount of fruits and vegetables college students had consumed was five serv-ings per week which is extremely low according to USD guidelines. Accordingly, the Department of Health and Human Services stated that about 21% of college students in the U.S are overweight or obese, even though these students consume fewer meals. The problem is, these meals contain fats, starches and carbohydrates, but not the healthy carbs from fruits and vegetables. College students tend to skip meals which is a huge issue as well. Students often may choose to grab a cookie from a vending machine, that has zero nutritional value and stay relatively “full” throughout the day than cook a healthy meal at home that contains all the right vitamins and min-erals. Food culture significantly impacts conception of fruits and vegetables as well. Commercials for fast food and things like chips, cookies and candy are more appealing than those of fruits and vegetables, but consuming these less healthy foods can lead to fatigue, stress, distraction and other things that impact an individual to behave negatively. Furthermore, being in the workforce while in school may impact fruit and vegetable consumption. A higher number of college students working may be one driving force for the increased demand for convenience food. In terms of the link be-tween fruit and vegetable consumption and vitamin consumption, students that value their health more, may additionally take vitamin tablets rather than consuming those vitamins in a healthy meal, but this is not always the healthiest alternative. Below are some ideas to help you eat healthy and maybe improve your academics along the way. Simple and practical way to eat healthy while in college: Always take the fruits that are on hand in the convenience stores on campus Listen to your body and give it the nutrition and water it needs Establish a routine—maybe take healthy meals with you to school Aim for three meals a day Keep Healthy snacks around, like fruits and vegetables Limit sugary and caffeinated beverages Drink a lot of water Reduce junk food

Preparing for Midterms

We are already in the 7th week of classes! I hope all of your classes have gone well so far. Midterms are also approaching fast! Here are a few steps to achieve the best results on your midterms.

Don’t cram!!!! It is very tempting to put off studying until the very last minute or the night before an exam, but don’t fall into

temptation! Instead, try studying a few hours every other day, or an hour a night. The university suggests that for every credit hour the class is, you should study at least two and a half hours per week. For example, if you have a 3 credit course, you should be studying seven and a half hours per week, for that course.

Use your resources The university is chalk-full of incredibly helpful resources for students to use. Plus most of these resources are

free! There is nothing wrong with asking for help! To name a few resources; the Learning Resource Center (LRC) provides 1 hour of tutoring for up to 2 classes (2 hours for TRiO SSS students) per week, per semester. Don’t want to sign up for tutoring? That’s alright, the LRC has a program to help students form study groups so you can meet up with other students from your class and study. The Writing Center is another great resource if you have some papers that you’re not sure about. Just visit online or call to make an appointment with a staff member. They will work with you up to an hour at a time, and help proofread and edit your paper. If midterms is causing you some stress, the Counseling Center may be able to help. If you need more intensive support, consider signing up for some therapy sessions with the CU Denver Psychological Services Center (PSC). These are great resources if the stress of midterms, school or work is getting to you. However, the PSC is not free, but it is very low cost to stu-dents and they do take insurance. For a full list of resources, come into the office and we will be more than happy to provide one. Remember, help comes to those who ask! With that in mind, also utilize your Peer Mentors and Coordinators at TRiO SSS, we are here to help you.

Talk with your professors and TAs Professors and TAs are there to help you succeed. If questions arise in lec-

ture or if something isn’t clear, seek help from the professors. Office hours are a great way to contact your Profs., and TAs, about any questions you might have. It is a good rule of thumb for every student to introduce yourself at the beginning of the semester and start building a rapport with your Pro-fessors and meet with them during office hours. They are usually willing and eager to help a student who is persistent and enthusiastic, as opposed to a student who doesn’t show motivation towards the class.

Director’s Corner

Greetings TRiO students,

As we get closer to mid-terms this semester, things begin to heat up, so hopefully you have been staying on track with your coursework and all your other activities. If you are having trouble keeping up with eve-rything, be sure to come and see us in the TRiO SSS office so we can help you figure out how to manage your time effectively. Also, if you need to sign up for a tutor, set that up at the Learning Resources Cen-ter. Remember also that the MERC lab on the 4th floor of the North Classroom building is open on a walk in basis to those of you who need help with your math classes. Also, the Writing Center is open to all of you who may need help with essays and research papers. Early Alert will be coming out soon and some of you may be on the list to be contacted. If you get an email message or phone call from Henry, Michael or me, please make it a point to come in promptly to see your Coordinator as we will do our best to help students who are struggling in their classes. It is best if you take care of problem situations early. It may be that tutoring can help you get through the semester. We can help you get that set up, including the second hour of tutoring that TRiO SSS provides as that may help you bring up your grades. If it is some other support you need help with, we may be able to help you with that as well. Henry, Michael, your Peer Mentors and I can help you think through the best way to handle various problem situations, so come in and see us whether or not you are on Early Alert, and come see them soon. We have some especially different and interesting workshops and activities being offered this month. If you are interested in attending law school once you finish your Bachelor’s degree, come to one of the workshops provided by our colleagues at the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law. If your interest is in the health sciences, attend the Breakfast with Dr. Ferguson scheduled early in the month and learn what it takes to get into professional school for a health related career. We also have a very special treat for our junior and seniors with the Etiquette Dinner we have scheduled on Tuesday of Spring Break. You get a free meal, while learning how to eat like an aristocrat. Learning what fork to use for a particular part of the meal can come in very handy down the road in graduate school and in your career as you may be in situations where you wine and dine with clients, bosses and/or faculty men-tors. We are fast approaching the first deadline date for the Book Scholarship. If you haven’t already at-tended a workshop or completed your financial literacy session, be sure to do that by the March 10, 2017 deadline date and be sure you also have at least 2 Peer Mentor meetings and 1 Coordinator meet-ing completed by that date. These later workshop sessions and the Etiquette Dinner will count as your second workshop. Please attend. On another note, we again will visit the AMC campus on Friday, April 21, 2017. Sign up for this trip as well in the TRiO SSS Office. We will take a couple of van loads of students down to AMC to visit with the Health Professions schools there and visit again with a panel of students from their various schools. We are hopeful to have our TRiO alumni who are at AMC join the student panel. Hopefully, many of you will join us on this visit as well. This semester, we will also has a short campus tour and come home earlier than in past years. The flyer for the visit with the agenda will be out soon, so be on the lookout for that. These visits should prove to be enjoyable excursions that will give you an opportunity to make new friends from our TRiO-SSS program, other TRiO SSS programs across the state and other EOP and CU Denver students. Additionally, this visit can help you plan better towards your graduate or professional school studies. Best of Luck on your mid-terms! - Teresa De Herrera
