If you’re not doing Pipeline this year, its not too early to start looking for a summer job or internship!
The Department of Labor has this cool Beta site where you can look for jobs and internships.
The best part?: most of the internships are PAID! YES!!
Anyways, take a look and maybe you’ll find something. Due dates for certain programs are coming up so keep that in mind.
Good luck!

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.
This Saturday marks March’s American Indian Health Career Ladder this Saturday at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona from 8:30 to noon.
The workshops are led by WesternU medical students and doctors: past workshops have included blood type testing, fingerprinting, diabetes prevention, forensic science, and anatomy!
Lunch is provided!
If you are interested in health or science careers, come out and learn all about the Health Career Ladder.

Last Friday, September 28th, was Sherman Indian High School’s Indian Day, a day to celebrate and promote the Native American history and culture of Riverside and Sherman Indian School, both past and present.
A part of Sherman’s Indian Day is the awarding of Golden Eagle awards, which are awarded to those who have created a bridge between Sherman and the wider community. Scott was honored to receive an Eagle Award due to his work helping promote reading achievement among Sherman Students!
GO SCOTT!!!! Aho!!!
