Hello! Please, allow me to introduce myself: my name is Tamer M
\nMahmoud. I am the current Pre College Outreach Specialist for the NTID
\nPre College Outreach department. We specialize in hosting various
\nprograms that targets middle school and high school deaf and hard of
\nhearing students from across the country. Such programs are: Math
\nCompetition featuring MATHCOUNTS problems, Science Fair, Digital Arts,
\nFilm and Animation Contest, Writing Competition and many more. We are
\nalso hosting three additional programs this summer: EYF, Tech Girlz
\nand Steps to Success.<\/p>\n
My focus is Steps to Success \u2013 it\u2019s a summer camp program that
\ntake place August 7-9, 2009 that invites African American, Native
\nAmerican, Latinos and Asian deaf and hard of hearing students who are
\nentering 7th, 8th and 9th grade in the fall. It\u2019s an opportunity for
\nthem to meet peer students and learn about what can be done with their
\nfuture.<\/p>\n
What make this program even more unique is that the summer camp does
\nnot focus only on students but the parents as well. We offer workshops
\nand activities in which they can learn about what they can do about
\ntheir children\u2019s future!<\/p>\n
For more information, you can read the brochure that I have included
\nin the attachment or can visit our website at:
\nhttp:\/\/www.ntid.rit.edu\/prospective\/steps\/<\/p>\n
You can also contact me directly for any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n
Let me take a moment to explain the cost and the content of the
\nprogram:<\/p>\n
For students, the cost is only $50 for the entire weekend starting
\nFriday, August 7th in the afternoon until Sunday, August 9th in the
\nafternoon as well. It will cover all lodging, meals, classes and
\nactivities within our programs. The only expenses that the students
\nwill be responsible for is transportation in getting to Rochester, NY
\nso they can have the opportunity to participate, to meet their peer
\nand learn how realistically their future are within their grasp.<\/p>\n
HOWEVER, if transportation or financial burden become an issue, we
\noffer limited scholarship which can help in more ways than one!<\/p>\n
For parents\/guardian, the cost is only $100 for the entire weekend as
\nwell. The cost also cover the same degree as the students, though
\ntheir activities and presentation will be different. The program are
\ndesigned to address the students and the parents\/guardian separately.
\nAgain, they are also responsible only for logistic to Rochester, NY so
\nthey can have the opportunity to participate, meet peer and learn how
\nrealistically their children\u2019s future are within their grasp!<\/p>\n
AGAIN, if transportation or financial burden become an issue, we
\noffer limited scholarship which can help in more ways than one!<\/p>\n
For students, we cover courses that teach engineering, science, arts
\nand services that we provides, activities that\u2019s available and above
\nall \u2013 we show them that they are not alone in terms of cultural
\nbackground and finding a future for themselves.<\/p>\n
For parents\/guardian, we cover presentations that talk about
\nfinancial aids, technology, services that we provides, meeting Deaf
\nprofessional and above all \u2013 we show them that they too, are not
\nalone in terms of cultural background and finding a future for their
\nchildren.<\/p>\n
In short, I hope that you may take the time to consider this program
\n\u2013 to share with your students and parents that you feel they will
\nbenefits greatly from this program and to help them make this happen!
