PAC Presidential Scholarship & Time Capsule Ceremony

WHAT: Palo Alto College Presidential Scholarship and Time Capsule Ceremony.

WHO: Palo Alto College President Dr. Ana M. “Cha” Guzmán will award a college scholarship to the entire 3rd Grade Class of Palo Alto Elementary School (almost 100 students!) in a ceremony to be held on the PAC campus. Afterward, the students will bury a “Time Capsule,” which will be opened when they are incoming Freshmen at PAC in August 2015.

WHEN: Friday, February 24, 2006 at 10 a.m.

WHERE: Performing Arts Building Center Courtyard (look for the two large tents)

WHY: To set a goal of higher education for the parents and students of the 2005/2006 Third Grade Class of Palo Alto Elementary School. Palo Alto College seeks to instill in these “Scholarship Students” the realization that their formal education does not end when they graduate from high school. Instead, attending Palo Alto College will be the natural progression of their educational process. These “Scholarship Students” will be an active part of the PAC community for the next 10 years.

On the lighter side: Read "To: Professor @ University . edu Subject: Why It's All About Me" by Jonathan D. Glater in the New York Times to see how email has made professors more accessible to students. Is it a good or bad thing; you decide!
