Hello and welcome in to the destination education Studio, where the students and staff are the stars now this week, we would like to take some time to highlight our Trio Upward Bound program every year about 85 percent of students involved in the trio Upward Bound program go on to attend either a college or university.

Earlier this summer, Jalisa Hernandez attended a fully funded five-week summer Institute at Princeton University, designed to prepare Scholars for admission to the nation's most selective colleges and universities.

B

So I gotta meet other teens from all over the country who are also low income, and most of them are also first generation, students who are underrepresented, and so that was like a super cool Community to build and also like all, the staff and a lot of the professors were also first gen and so I had this professor, who was Latino first gen and he like taught are you Chicago so hearing from his perspective, I think was super cool and seeing that kind of representation was like really important and Powerful. For me,.

Jalisa was one of only 100 public high school juniors from across the U.S to be named a leadership Enterprise for a diverse America scholar.

B

I never thought I'd be on a campus like Princeton, more or less like for five weeks and I. Think it's reassured me even now into my college decision like I know: I'm gonna be okay if I go far and like it's something that pushes me to want to go farther and to like to apply to even like more selective institutions, because, like I would I know, I was on Princeton's campus for a reason, and I can be on other campuses like that again.

A

She is Mr Josh, engler's, first student, to be on an Ivy League campus. Congratulations! Jalisa! We cannot wait to see what you accomplish.

Sophomore Nicholas Mendes has been selected as a member of superintendent Ibarra student advisory, Council students from different grade levels, backgrounds, cultures, school size and areas within Idaho serve on the council to share their opinions and offer advice about education, opportunities and policy in the Gem State I.

C

Feel, like me, being an underclassman in there, it gives hope and I think it like hopefully tells like the underclassmen that you don't have to be a senior or a junior to be doing all this stuff.

C

You don't have to wait like it's good to be like patient about things, but sometimes you're able to just get work done now, and that's really good because, like in the future, you have more room for your opportunities and because you have like a background of like doing the stuff when you were young, it's going to be even better when you're older.

A

Nicholas was one of only 13 students selected from the nearly 60 students who applied. We are so proud of Nicholas, and we know he will be a strong advocate for the Youth of Caldwell and for the Youth in our state.

A

We would also like to congratulate Mr Josh Engler for being named the high education advocate of the Year by the Idaho Association of college registrars and admissions officers. He says this award is more a reflection of our program than himself, so he would like to share this honor with his current and former students. He is thankful every day for this amazing opportunity.

A

Thank you. Mr Engler, for making such a positive impact on our students lives. Now Health occupation, students at Caldwell, High School had the opportunity to work with five doctors from Full Circle Health through the doctor for a Day program.

A

The program events are made up of Hands-On stations such as teaching physical exams and patient interviewing techniques, students in medical terminology, anatomy and physiology and rehabilitative Sports Medicine classes were able to learn about the lungs and respiratory system. Having.

Them experience just a glimpse of what they learn and how they interact with patients and how they interact with the population is really beneficial to be like. Oh I can see myself doing that and getting them interested in actually something they haven't even thought about before the.

A

Goal of doctor for a day is to inspire and encourage students and underrepresentative communities to consider medicine or other health care careers. We.

D

Expanded the University of Washington's doctor for a Day program into Idaho, and so we actually have used their formatting to bring the residents into high schools where there's underrepresentative students in medicine to get them excited about medicine. Right.

A

Now Caldwell High School is the only School in Idaho offering this experience. They are working on having three more sessions this school year on different topics.

A

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Dr garish for bringing this amazing program to Caldwell High School and allowing our students to get real life experience working in the healthcare fields now make sure to tune in next week to see where the highlights will take me. Thank you for watching and have a great week.
