Dear colleagues,
Thank you to those who have already volunteered to be a mentor for a new student this fall. We still need additional mentors, especially in the areas of Educational Administration and Evaluation Studies.

Please contact me at enger011@umn.edu if you are willing to serve as a mentor in the 2008-2009 academic year. You will be paired with a new student at the beginning of fall semester.

To aid me in pairing mentors and mentees, please provide the following information about yourself:
Name
Email address
Program track
Degree seeking (M.A., Ed.D., Ph.D., etc.)

Please respond by this Friday, August 15. If I do not have enough willing mentors at that time, I will not be able to offer the peer mentor program to new students.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Kathryn Enke
Graduate Student, Higher Education

While a graduate student in public health is preferred, many evaluation studies students may also meet the qualifications for this position.

Dear colleagues,

EPASA is once again organizing a peer mentor program for new students. The goal of the EPASA peer mentor program is to connect new EDPA students with successful continuing students in the program. The peer mentor program provides social support in a friendly environment which allows new students to learn from the perspective of successful peers who have adjusted well to the University of Minnesota. Peer mentors will help first year M.A. or Ph.D. students with their transition to the University of Minnesota, help them feel at home in the academic environment, and enhance their graduate school experience.

We need your help! Please volunteer to be a mentor to a new student in the 2008-2009 academic year. The time commitment is not large; I ask mentors to meet with their mentees once per month. Meetings are set between you and your mentee, so the times will always fit your schedule. And I know that you will enjoy meeting a new EDPA student and helping them adjust to our program at the University of Minnesota.

Please contact me at enger011@umn.edu if you are willing to serve as a mentor in the 2008-2009 academic year. You will be paired with a new student at the beginning of fall semester.

To aid me in pairing mentors and mentees, please provide the following information about yourself:

• Name
• Email address
• Program track
• Degree seeking (M.A., Ed.D., Ph.D., etc.)

Please respond by August 15. If I do not have enough willing mentors at that time, I will not be able to offer the peer mentor program to new students.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Kathryn Enke
Graduate Student, Higher Education

EPASA is happy to invite you to the faculty-panel titled “EdPA – Who are we? And who are we going to be?" on April 23. The panel will take place from 1 to 2:30pm at Coffman Memorial Union (Conference Room 303). There will be FREE lunch prior to the panel, starting at 12:15pm (in the same room). The chair (Dr. Hendel) as well as all program directors of the four program tracks of EdPA (Dr. Alexander, Dr. Anderson, Dr. Fry and Dr. Yeh) have been invited and have agreed to participate. It is your chance to ask questions, raise issues and discuss matters of your interest regarding the topic above.

We from EPASA would appreciate your input very much. Send us your questions regarding your issues and matters of interest to be raised at the panel (to: stolz016@umn.edu). All input will be treated confidentially (except if you would like to be identified and state so explicitly). Of course, the panel itself will be an open forum in which questions can be asked openly as well. However, in order to enable our guests to address the true scope of your interests, it would be helpful to get an overview of your ideas in advance.

PLEASE REGISTER for the panel, so we can be sure to have enough food and chairs for everybody (also to: stolz016@umn.edu).

We are looking forward seeing you all at the panel.

Best wishes,
EPASA
