The elementary students are then invited to participate in demonstrating how everyday movements are similar in rhythm, shape and dynamics to ballet steps. as Next, the dancers, dressed characters from The Nut- cracker, demonstrate the techniques of pantomime, pointe work, use of a prop, and pas de deux (two dancers partnering together). At the conclusion of the program the audience enjoys a miniature perfomance of The Nutcracker ballet.

Not only are students required to acquire an academic degree; students must build an im- pressive resume including difficult classes and valuable experiences. The Utah Rural Health Scholars program is a new cer- tificated program through Southwest Utah AHEC and Southern Utah University beginning Fall of 2004. The goal of this program is to give rural students the opportu- nity to gain the skills and experiences needed to help them become a candidate for graduate-leve- l well-qualifie- d programs. The program provides the framework for students to accomplish these activities through a formalized program. The students accepted into the Utah Rural Health Scholars Program will work with an academic advisor at SUU to choose a major and a minor. In addition, the student will enroll in required classes, offered through the program. The core of this program is a weekly seminar program that will involve all levels of students (freshman through senior) in a lecturediscus-sioformat that will focus on current medical topicsis-sues- , reflection of students projects, and peer mentoring. Students will attend the seminar program each semester. The program also requires students to do job shadowing, leadership, service learning and research.

Often times, college can be confus- ing, but this program provides a structured path for students to help them navigate through their secondary education.
