THE PILLAR

The TRiO SSS Office is happy to spotlight Daniel Schum in this month’s newsletter. He graduates this semester with a major in English Writing and minor in Ethics. His favorite quote states, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground,” by Theodore Roosevelt. Daniel has certainly kept his eyes on the stars while staying grounded by creating solid goals and maintaining a strong work ethic. He focused on his academics for his major, minor, and core curriculum and com-pleted an internship for the Colorado State Government under the wing of a state representative. When asked about one thing he wished he was told when he started college, Daniel stated, “I wish that I was told about all the resources that I can access like TRiO sooner. Thanks to these resources, I was able to not only have goals set, but also have them achieved. College is different and there is nothing wrong to admit that you need help to overcome the challenges, which is why we have these amazing re-sources to help us, whether it is TRiO or the Learning Resources Cen-

ter.” Daniel states, “The TRiO staff is here to help, don’t be afraid to let them know. TRiO helped me be able to keep on top of my own goals. Without them, I would’ve had a difficult time at CU Denver as I started out not knowing what to do.” He would like to graduate from CU Denver by December so he can prepare for immediate em-ployment. His goal is to seek employment as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) in Japan to broaden his horizons. He is applying to some organizations to be hired as an ALT. His goal is to get contracted with one by the end of the year. For the future, Daniel would like to push forward in a technical writing career, which can vary from working in another company such as his fa-ther’s in EVOlab or anywhere else they can use a technical writer (there are plenty). Some of his favorite memories in college include meeting and maintaining friendships. Daniel states, “I feel like I have made a great bond with them during this time.” His hobbies include reading, writing, playing sports, working out, and playing video games. When asked about the first thing he would do if he won a million dollars Daniel stated, “I would first pay off my student loan debt. That would take the weight off my shoulders. I would also consider donating to a charity of my choosing to help oth-ers.” The TRiO SSS Office wishes Daniel continued success. Remember to keep reaching for the stars.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT—Daniel Schum

A MONTHLY JOURNAL OF THE TRiO SSS COMMUNITY

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT—Brandon Cropp

The TRiO SSS Office is also delighted to spotlight Brandon Cropp in this month’s newsletter. Brandon will be completing a degree in English Creative Writing and minors in Religious Studies and Sociology. He has been an active participant in the program. Brandon has been highlighted in a past edition of the newsletter for his two creative poems, “The Basic Truth” and the “Demon in the Lead.” As he finishes his last semester, he would like to capitalize on his college resources, by sharing his writing portfolio with interested professionals. He would also like to apply the new topics he is learning to his public blog. In addition, he would like to help his Anime Club publish a light graphic novel, in the hopes a series of graphic novels can follow. He would like to experiment in ghost writing by taking on writing projects of various backgrounds (like music writing for example). When asked about his college experience Brandon stated, “When people say a writer can

become a published author without college, I wouldn't say it's impossible. However, I wouldn't trade my years in college for the world. For me it's been an experience that allowed me to mature in a way I personally desired. People can grow up all kinds of ways, but I've always valued the intellectual energy of the college crowd. Unlike high school, it has a strange cross section be-tween learning and applying knowledge. High school just doesn't test individual abilities to bring academic work to life and reality.” When Brandon first started college, he wished he knew more about financing his experience. He writes, “There is no greater dis-traction to the average student's education than the burden and responsibility of paying for it. While I won't go on a tirade about broken systems and my hatred of numerical values in the grand scheme of life. I would have loved to understand the split tuition distribution aspect of my college bills; to understand I had access to deferred payment plans. It's my fault, I valued scholarships so little, due to pride and personal prejudices, but I severely doubt freshmen understand ALL the financial avenues available to them. Freshmen seminars likely highlight a common few. As years pass counselors and advisors reveal more, but I feel my freshman year was far from laying out the variety of financial options available so I could put the best financial foot forward.” As Brandon moves forward from his undergraduate experience, he has several long-term goals. He has listed five goals which include: 1) Becoming a contracted writer with a spiritual based publisher of his choice, 2) Securing a form of employment that not only supports his writing career, but also plays to his personal strengths and challenges him to gain new skills. (He doesn’t know what this type of job looks like yet), 3) Expanding and deepening his spiritual path and career, which at times means anything from travel and discovering new insights through self-reflection, 4) Seek to share intimacy with someone special, which he supposes some folks would whittle down to falling in love. (however, a big part of this involves loving himself, and letting go of past emotional pains), and finally, 5) the desire to not only be a published author, but to be an author recognized for a unique talent. (So far this talent may rest in writing his own brand of magical realism.) Some of his hobbies include dabbling in electrical engineering (Seeing if he can put his Pickens Technical College degree to recreational use). He also dabbles with art, when his high stand-ards and low budget do not get the better of him. Brandon states, “My main career is also what I do for fun. I take any chance to show off my writing capabilities, but especially if it's all for the sake of fun. I'm an anime nerd and would love to see one of my stories get animated someday. If it's a craft I've never tried, I'm always curious. Learning new crafts in general thrills me (movies, plays & theater, cosplay, etc.). I guess I've always admired the jack of all trades, but master of none,” philosophy. When asked how TRiO has helped him Brandon stated, “For me, TRiO offered me a constant, in a world that loves to work with variables. In a world that favors the fast and experienced, TRiO gave me a chance to be the methodic, slow, impatiently patient tortoise. And we all know how well tortoises do in the races. They say family is a social construct. We establish family by the intimacy and proximity of its member. TRiO are a group of people I consider my campus family. If your anything like me, your shy, but clever and friendly to a close few friends. The TRiO staff can and are willing to be those close few friends. Friends who have a sympathetic ear and an empathetic experience, to share mutual-ly with their student members. It also doesn’t hurt if you can become part of that staff. Inclusive is a title that fits them well.”

One of Brandon’s fondest memories in college include his time with NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers). Brandon states, “While this memory gathers dust as we speak, and there are current new moments in college that shine and vibe in my heart, something about my very first club/organization stands out uniquely in my memory. Perhaps it was the first time I didn't struggle to believe I was black enough for my community. Maybe it was the terri-fying awe in reliance on being part of a group that saw me more for what I was, than what I thought I had to be. The friends, the travels, the rites of passage. There are such things as memories that define a piece of who we think we are, memories that form our identities. No matter how blurred the details become.” Brandon stated that he would pay his student loans off if he won a million dollars. However, if he had the time to think about it and did not have to be conventional, he would probably finance a business career as a spiritual healer and advisor. He would use the money to visit

spiritual role models, lead his own workshops, publish books on his spiritual lessons and experiences learned. Brandon stat-ed, “I would also build a network and reach out to youth as a resource to alternative religion. All under the grand goal of pro-moting healing, in its many personal and public forms. A sort of humanitarian dream, some would say.” From his volunteer work with TRiO, to crafting his skills in writing through group workshops, he will never forget his experi-ences at CU Denver. He states, “College for me is the ideal atmosphere for escorting a young adult into their adult years.” When asked about his favorite quote, he said, “I have always been fond of quotes about “Chaos.” An infamous quote on the matter is “Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order and everything becomes...chaos. I’m an agent of chaos.” - Heath Ledger (as the Joker in Batman, The Dark Knight). Our office is happy to have played a small role in Brandon’s success and we wish him continued success.

Dating back hundreds of years, the people from central and southern Mexico have wor-shiped death; taking this process as a natural

part of life. Upon the arrival of the conquerors, the death cult merged with the Catholic Church resulting in the traditional Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), an Aztec festival dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl. This holiday is celebrated year after year starting on October 31 and ending on November 2. October 31st is designated to prepare the ofrendas (offerings), then November 1st is a day to re-member deceased children, traditionally called Angelitos (little Angels), and November 2nd is commonly known as Dia de los Fieles Difuntos (All Souls Day). This festival is a tribute to the memory of family and friends who have passed away. Families gather to celebrate and pray in memory of the deceased, visiting and decorating the cemeteries with marigold flowers. At the same time, in their homes people place altares y afrendas (altars and offerings) decorated with flowers, sugar skulls, music, papel picado (puckered paper) and the favorite food and beverages of the departed. The altars are meant to be a portal for the dead to come back to the world of the living in order to vis-it their family and friends and enjoy the offerings left for them. By: Cynthia Cordova

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

Important fafsa info

New FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) Deadline for 2017/ 2018 Year The FAFSA is an application for student aid that students must complete if they are to receive Pell Grants, federal student

loans, and work study opportunities. In addition, many colleges rely on this information to determine eligibility for non federal sources of aid, meaning college grants or scholarships. In short, the FAFSA is very important in determining financial aid, both federally and college based. This year, for the 2017-2018 school year, the FAFSA will be available 3 months in advance. The new deadline for the application is October 1st, 2016. There are many reasons for this change. First, so that college students will have more time to explore more options of paying for college. (i.e. scholarships, grants, loans etc.) Second, there is no longer a rush to get your, or your parent’s tax return (if necessary) processed. FAFSA will now require information from an earlier tax year. So, this means if you intend to apply for financial aid for 2017-2018, your 2015 income information is required. Applicants will no longer need to estimate income and tax information early in the year, if they don’t complete their taxes until spring, as they will be able to retrieve their data directly from the IRS, right from the first day the FAFSA is available. (Refer to table below) In previous years, there was a way to link data directly from the IRS, instead of manually entering all of the data, but only for those who completed their taxes early. For those who hadn’t completed their taxes in January or February, they had to estimate and go back in later and make a correction. Since FAFSA is requir-ing the previous year’s tax information now, there will be no more estimating or having to update your FAFSA. A couple things to remember: students still have to apply for the FAFSA every year, families and students do not need to complete the current year’s taxes before the deadline, and the FAFSA is still on a first come first serve basis. So, just because the deadline is longer, do not wait to sub-mit your FAFSA. This change may be an annoyance now, but in future years, it will help the financial aid process be a little smoother.

Study Skills

ENHANCING YOUR MEMORY

Utilizing various techniques to enhance your memory will surely enhance the amount of knowledge you gain per your study time, and will help you have better scores on exams; ultimately getting more out of your memory. All of us are looking for strong long-term memory capabilities.

Here are some strategies that have been tested and demonstrate how to improve memorization: Focus: This is all about your attention. Focusing your attention on the materials you’re observing will help you transfer the

information from short-term memory to long- term memory. So, choose quiet places for studying and avoid places with distractions.

Avoid cramming: Establish regular study sessions. Yes, create a routine to consistently review your studies so you can ab-sorb the information. Students who have consistent study habits conveniently remember their material.

Structure and organize the information you are studying: Your memory processes information when it’s related through a mechanism called coincidence recognition, so group concepts and terms together and outline your notes and textbook.

Elaborate and rehearse the information: To recall the information, read more details about the materials and repeat. Repetition of this process will enhance your memory in that particular topic.

Visualize concepts: Pay attention to bold titles, subtitles, and numbered details besides any charts/graphs or pictures in the textbooks as they can be helpful visual cues. It is also helpful to use your own drawings and symbols that will help you remember the materials.

Relate new information with already known information: This will help with unfamil-iar concepts. Relating ideas together will increase the recollection of the new materials.

Teach new concepts to another person: One of the strongest strategies to assure you know what you’re talking about is to attempt to teach and explain concepts to another person. Studying with a group typically induces this behavior and also provides differ-ent perspectives regarding the same topic.

Page 7 THE PILLAR

Director’s corner

Greetings TRiO students,

We are inching our way towards mid-terms and I hope you are all preparing for that. We are also coming up on the first half requirements for the TRiO SSS Book Scholarship. Hopefully, you have been meeting with your Peer Mentors as well as Coordinators and are staying on track with your participation requirements. This edition of the newsletter is packed with workshop opportunities, so please take advantage of that and get 1 or 2 of your workshops completed earlier, rather than later in the semester. As you will see also on the calendar, we have already scheduled our FAFSA workshops. You now have the opportunity to complete your FAFSA early in the year and use the already completed 2015 income tax documentation. It is to your advantage to complete this early, so please come to a FAFSA workshop. You can bring a friend or 2 with you. These workshops are open to all CU Denver students, so please take advantage of this important opportunity. There are so many workshops to choose from this month. Consider completing a stress relief workshop or time management workshop, or both. Managing your time well is an important key to success. As you have so many workshops to choose from, pick the ones that will help you best at this time of the semester.

If you find yourself struggling in any of your classes, please remember that the Learning Resources Center is the place to go for tutoring

support. As a TRiO SSS participant, you can get an extra hour of tutoring a week paid by the TRiO SSS program, so take advantage of that service. They are located in the Student Commons Building (AB1) Suite 2105. Also the MERC lab is open for students who need assistance in their math classes and the Writing Center is available for students who want to have a paper for any class reviewed. Both the MERC lab and Writing Center are on the 4th floor of the North Classroom building, MERC lab in NC 4015 and the Writing Center in NC 4014.

A few weeks ago, I was at our national Council for Opportunity in Education (national TRiO) conference in San Diego, California where I had

the opportunity to hear 5 distinguished national TRiO Achievers tell us how the TRiO Programs motivated them to get into college, stay in college and graduate. It is always the highlight of my time at these conferences. They all talked about TRiO staff who believed in them and encouraged them to keep going even when the students themselves didn’t think they could make it through. If you ask them, what was the key to your success, they would say, just keep going, 1 step at a time and 1 day at a time. The real key to success is perseverance. It doesn’t matter how smart or not smart you think you are. What matters is that you keep trying and work at it until you get it and not give up on yourself, just as our TRiO staff are not giving up on you.

These TRiO Achievers started from very modest beginnings. Two are now College Presidents, 1 owns a Real Estate Company, 1 runs a

non-profit that is similar to a TRiO program and the other is head of a research laboratory focused on curing cancer. When I heard their stories, it made me think of you, our TRiO SSS participants here at CU Denver. I can picture many of you in those roles a few years from now. I hope you picture yourself there as well. We have alumni from this program that have accomplished their goals of graduating from college and are making an impact in their professions now, so I know that success is not only possible, but probable for you. Again, the most important thing that you can do while you are here in college is not give up, no matter how difficult the road becomes along your trail, don’t give up on yourself. If you start to fall be-hind, come into the TRiO SSS office and let us help you. With that said, come in and see us and give yourself the opportunity to earn a scholarship along the way.

Below are the participation requirements that form the basis for the TRiO SSS Book Scholarship:

Attend 2 SSS workshops per semester.

Attend one workshop by Friday, October 14, 2016. Meet with the Director, Program Coordinator, or Academic Coordinator at least 2 times per semester.

Complete one meeting by Friday, October 14, 2016. Meet with a Peer Mentor at least 3 times per semester.

Meet with a Peer Mentor at least two times before October 14, 2016. Complete one Financial Literacy session per semester.

Must be completed by 12/09/2016. Complete at least six credit hours, with a 2.500 semester GPA.

All students must meet these requirements by December 9, 2016 to be

considered for the scholarship to be awarded in the spring 2017 semester. —Teresa De Herrera
