Re: 2014 Model New York State Senate Session Project We are pleased to inform you that the New York State Assembly & Senate Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force has again invited CUNY to organize and conduct a Model New York State Senate Session Project for college students at the SOMOS Conference in Albany on Saturday, March 22, 2014. The Model Senate Project, now in its 18th year, is intended to provide SOMOS student participants with a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills in a legislative/policy-making setting, with an emphasis on critical thinking and public speaking. Students will participate in the SOMOS Conference and will attend a Gala dinner on Saturday evening following their model session in the New York State Senate Chamber. They will also be eligible to apply for one of ten SOMOS College Scholarships and an internship through the SOMOS CUNY Summer Internship Program. Enthusiasm about this project and the educational opportunities it affords students has grown among state legislators and CUNY faculty alike. It is particularly important to promote the 2014 Project at each CUNY college. A CUNY luncheon will precede the Model Senate Session on March 22 at noon, in the Albany Room of the Empire State Plaza. The Model Senate Session will begin at 2:00 PM in the New York State Senate Chamber. We request that you nominate up to four undergraduate students enrolled at your institution to participate in the Model Senate Project training program.

The mandatory training sessions are intensive seminars in New York State government, leadership and the legislative process. Those who successfully complete the training component will be transported by motor coach to Albany on Saturday, March 22, 2014, and return to New York City on Sunday, March 24, 2014. They will stay in downtown Albany on Saturday night. Transportation, meals and overnight accommodation costs will be provided for all student participants. The schedule for Model Senate Project training sessions is: 1. Thursday, 3/6/14 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Graduate Center-CUNY, Rooms C-204/5 2.
