West High graduate awarded scholarship Recent West High graduate Nicole Tavui has dreamed of attending college since she was a child, but knew that because of her financial situation the chances were slim. Thanks to two U outreach groups, Tavui will now be able to receive a college education. She was recently awarded a scholarship that will cover tuition for her first year of college at the U. "I'm happy and relieved because it takes a lot of stress off of me and off my parent's shoulders," said Tavui, who hopes to major in business or pre-den- Alumni Association "is the type of support that will make a difference in the lives of west Salt Lake youth and families." Tavui, who earned the scholarship because of her academic record and community involvement, said her little brothers look up to her and "have a greater desire (to attend) college." She will be the first member of her family to go to college. "Getting the scholarship was a confidence booster," Tavui said. tistry. The U Alumni Association and University Neighborhood Partners sponsored the scholarship, which is renewable for a second year. The organizations teamed up to connect the U with disadvantaged west side neighborhoods, said John Fackler, director of business relations for the Alumni Association. "We wanted to continue our outreach with UNP by establishing a scholarship to a deserving student," Fackler said. UNP Director Rosemarie Hunter said in a statement that support from the Hillary Holbrook Summer visitors NEW BUILDING TO HOUSE USTAR RESEARCHERS U hosts day camps, outreach programs Hillary Holbrook STAFF WRITER Thousands of kids, teens and adults from across the nation come to the U every summer to learn how to dissect cows, edit movies and recover from alcoholism. These are just a few of the topics that are part of the summer camps and weeklong seminars the U plays host to every summer. Nate Friedman, U alumnus, coordinates Club U, a day camp for youth ages four to 17 that is sponsored by the U's Continuing Education program. "We like to show them Utah beyond their own backyard," Friedman said. The camp, which offers dozens of classes ranging from Zany Brainy Science to filmmaking, allows the participants to understand the importance of furthering their education, even from a young age. Friedman said kids also pick electives to take part in, from "dissecting a cow heart to launching a piece of paper 300 feet in the air." Shannon Mohyuddin, conference sales manager for Chartwells Dining Services, LATINA/O STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT CAMPUS SUPPORT GROUPS continued from Page 1 lings who might get an idea of resources they might use at the U in the future. Valery Pozo, co-chairwoman of the student group MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano/a de Aztlan), stressed the importance of giving prospective students a support system. continued from Page 1 said her job is more interesting in the summer because of the diverse groups that come to campus. "You never know what you're going to get," Mohyuddin said. She said she remembers one summer when Royal Marines from England paid a visit to campus to train at a higher altitude. Mohyuddin said the experience gives guests a feel for what the campus is like. "The U has great facilities and a great classroom atmosphere," said Sue Langston, coordinator for the School on Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependencies. The school, which ended its 56th annual session Friday, uses physicians, counselors and treatment programs to assist in recovery. More than 1,000 students from all over the nation learn how to cope with everything from alcoholism to overeating while earning college credit, Langston said. "Hopefully most who come here are college bound, and can see what it's like to experience college," Mohyuddin said. h.holbrook@ chronicle.utah.edu "Only about 4 percent (of the U student body) is Latino or Latina, so when (Latina/o) students walk into their classroom it's filled with students who don't look like them," she said. "It's important to MEChA that students realize there are students here who have made it." Pozo said she hopes that by giving students a support system they will tell others about the program. Karla Motta, enrollment management generalist for student affairs, said the welcome event also gives students networking opportunities. Last year, she said, a student met with University Neighborhood Partners, a group at the event. This year, The 90,000 square foot facility will allow the U to expand its research space in medical and some engineering sciences, and will serve to temporarily house USTAR researchers while the larger USTAR building is constructed. According to Bardsley, the building is being purchased at an estimated price of $200 per square foot, which he said is about half the price the U would pay if it had to build a similar facility. The building was available because NPS Pharmaceuticals is moving all its operations to the company's headquarters in New Jersey, said Bill Pheifer, NPS senior director of administrative services and facilities. "NPS is going through corporate restructuring. All SLC employees will be laid off," Pheifer said. The U does not have a specific date for taking over the research facility. NPS plans to stay in the building for several months. f.martin@ chronicle.utah.edu the same student was named academic consultant for the group. Marcus Sarzalejo, a transfer student from Salt Lake Community College, said the event gave him the chance to find other Hispanic students who have faced the same challenges he has. "Something that has always bothered me is how whenever I go to classes people treat me like I'm only there because of affirmative action," he said. "But the only reason I've been able to go to school and do everything I've done with school is because of my own actions." j.winston@ chronicle.utah.edu Got a bone to pick?
