Greetings Pathways Participants,
As your arrival date approaches, I'll continue to post information and instructions to this blog. Today, I want to introduce you to three peer mentors who will be working with you during your time here. Eastern Washington University has screened and selected a group of peer mentors who will participate in all project activities. Peer mentors will live in the residence halls and are available to help serve as cultural and academic advisors. The peer mentors will design leisure activities and will accompany the group on cultural and school visits, as well as community service projects. The peer mentors are advanced EWU students or recent alumni, some of whom are bilingual and bicultural. A mix of gender and age, the group of peer mentors will be an important source of support and social connection for participants. Each peer mentor has started a blog as a means of introduction. You can access and follow their blogs at the following locations:

In addition to taking a look at the peer mentor's introductory blog posts, I'm asking that each of you create a blog on blogger.com. Blogger.com will lead you through the easy process of setting this up. Your initial blog post should introduce yourself to us here at EWU and to the other participants who you will be sharing this experience with. Additionally, leading up to your arrival, I'll be posting some questions to this main blog site that I'll ask you to respond to on your blog. This will help us to begin to formulate the discussions we'll be having while you are here. Throughout your time at EWU, we'll continually use these blogs as a place to reflect on the work we're doing together. Once you have established your blog, please email the web address of your blog to me at sagriss@ewu.edu, and I'll collect them on this main page for everyone to access.
As you work through this process, please let me know if I can assist you in any way. We're all looking forward to your arrival.

Dear Sean,
ReplyDeleteI can only access Becca`s blog. The other two requiere user name and password but mine do not fit. Also, there is no opportunity to create a new account.
