– The Pipeline Program
It was nice that we were able experience and participate in the dance, the trip to western university was also amazing, I learned much about the research that graduate students do, along with the requirements that it takes to become a doctor. How important it is to do good in school to be able to accomplish these things. Also I never realized how cool Myan math is and how complex it is. I wonder what my math teacher would think if I used that on a no calculator test?? We also watched a movie that explained how important surfing was to the Hawaiian people, which is nice to know that their traditions are very important to them.
Just a gentle Reminder

Interested in learning more about issues facing Native America today? Federal Indian Law and Policy? Or Protecting Cultural Property?
Spring Quarter for online UCLA extension classes are starting soon (March 30th). The sign up process is very easy AND there is a easy scholarship to sign up for too so don’t let those dollar signs intimidate you. I cannot recommend these classes enough.You can take 1 class at a time or two at once. There are small weekly assignments that are usually class discussions, three short papers, and a final paper.
They do require a lot of reading and writing but you will get so much out of it. You get to virtually meet different Native people from all walks of life from around the US and sometimes other countries. In each class, you get up-to-date on current pressing issues facing Indian Country, how to think critically about them, and be informed!

Hello again,
In case the previous post was a bit confusing, I would like to clarify it.The Career Ladder in the morning (8-noon) is at Western University and part of the usual Health Career Ladder Programming that WesternU does. The College Day activities starts at 2pm at Pitzer. We thought it would be easier for Sherman and other students to come out for the whole day instead of a few hours.
Here is the Flyer Detailing the College Day activities at 2pm starting at Pitzer below.
Hello Pipeline Family,
We are having an College Day event at Pitzer/Pomona on Saturday, October 19th. The following email is from Simone, the newest member of the Pipeline team.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Students and Families,
Greetings from the Pipeline to College program at Pitzer College! First of all, thank you to all the students and families for being part of this program.
Second, I’d like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Simone Prince-Eichner, and I have just joined the Pipeline program as the College Prep Outreach Coordinator for Native students. I am a sophomore at Pomona College. My heritage is Jewish, through my mother, and German, through my father. At Pomona, I am planning to major in either history or international relations, and I am considering a career in law—human rights law, treaty rights law, or environmental law. I really enjoy cooking (and eating) all different kinds of food from around the world, being outside, making art, and cuddling with my cat! I am honored to be part of the Pipeline to College community, and I look forward to meeting all those whose paths cross with the Pipeline program.
