[Vcsa-announcements] request for help in identifying talented students for pre-orientation video

[Susan Allen Ortega]

Colleagues,  You may know that Campus Activities and First Year 
Programs, the AVC/DOS, VCSA, and VCSA Marketing and Communications 
are working with the colleges to develop the first of what we hope 
will be several online modules for admitted students that will 
provide self paced, interactive learning modules on a variety of 
topics essential to getting off to a good start and enjoying success 
in the first year at UC Riverside.  The first module we are 
developing will focus on course selection and registration nuts and bolts.

Before Spring Break we asked for help in identifying students who are 
positive about UC Riverside, poised and articulate and might be 
willing to volunteer to be actors in the pre-orientation 
video.  While many students answered the call and signed up for a 
screen test, these students did not reflect the diversity of the UC 
Riverside campus.  The consultant we've retained to shoot the video 
for the first module has blocked out this weekend to do the 
work.  Any help you can offer in identifying students (particularly 
Asian, Chicano/Latino and Caucasian students) who do not have Easter 
weekend plans and would be good representatives of UC Riverside and 
willing to participate as actors would be appreciated.  A final 
screen test for interested students is scheduled for this Thursday 
afternoon 3 - 4 p.m.  Thank you in advance for your help with this 
important project.  Susan
