by Naomi Weinman 03 Mar '17

, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself; my name is Sheldon Minnus, I work for a non-profit that provides academic programming and enrichment to almost 20,000 across New York City, and Weschester County. I am also a Queens College alumni who thoroughly enjoyed my experiences during my time there. I actually had dropped by the school briefly yesterday and spoke with your colleague Mr. Michael Livathinopoulos who mentioned that you would be the person to talk to. I am reaching out to you in hopes of being able to provide current Queens College students with a great opportunity to be a part of a paid internship tutoring students at Flushing High School. In collaboration with Flushing High School (which is very close in proximity to Queens College), we are providing a 12 week Regents Exam/Test Preparation program. Tutors will be providing small group size and individualized tutoring in subject based areas: Math, Science, History and ELA. Tutoring will take place Monday through Thursday during our after school program hours from 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM. We are looking for strong and passionate individuals who would like to dedicate themselves to the betterment of under served high school students who will help to ensure that we are able to improve students' academic achievement and to help fulfill graduation requirements. As a Queens College Alumni I would love to extend this opportunity to Queens College students. If you would like to meet further to discuss, I would be more than happy to come back out to Queens College. If you know of anyone that you feel would be a great fit for this opportunity than please pass the information along and I would love to meet with them as well. Any questions, concerns or comments please reach out, and I look forward to hearing back from you in the near future! Sincerely, Sheldon M.

Students matched up in Power Pairs where one student offers the English tutoring and the other student offers the math tutoring will be notified in a separate email.

Students who would like help will meet with Ruth individually in PH 002. Appointments will be available Monday through Thursday, 9am-1:30pm. Initial appointments are for 15 minutes.

From: TIME2000_T17 [mailto:time2000_t17-bounces@lists.qc.cuny.edu] On Behalf Of Naomi Weinman via TIME2000_T17 Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 1:21 PM To: T19 (TIME2000_T19(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu) <TIME2000_T19(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu>; t1ime2000_T18(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu; T17 (TIME2000_T17(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu) <TIME2000_T17(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu> Cc: qcartzt(a)gmail.com Subject: [Time2000_t17 0119] FW: Hillside Arts and Letters Academy Portfolio Day Dear TIME 2000 Students, Please read below for an opportunity to build your resume, earn observation hours, and get to know people at a school for future connections. Sincerely, Mrs. Weinman -------- Original message -------- From: Meghan Milana Date:01/30/2017 8:29 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Alice Artzt , frcurcio(a)aol.com<mailto:frcurcio@aol.com>, Naomi Weinman , Theresa Gurl Subject: Hillside Arts and Letters Academy Portfolio Day Hello! I hope everything is going well at Queen's College and you are excited for another semester. I can't believe it has been almost a year since graduating. Teaching without going to school at night is a little strange but I am enjoying my extra free time. I wanted to invite you and your students to my school's Portfolio Day event coming up on Friday, February 10, 2017 from 11:30-3:00. On Portfolio Day our students in grades 9 and 10 showcase their best work from the first semester to guests and parents we invite from the community. It is always a challenge to bring guests in since most people are working during this time period. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity for undergraduate or graduate education majors of any content area to see a real classroom in NYC, interact with our 9th and 10th graders in round table discussions where they talk about their classwork from the first semester, and see different curriculum projects from all subject areas. (We are a problem-based learning school.) I was hoping that you would pass this email along to your students and encourage them to RSVP by Tuesday, February 7th. My principal is more than happy to sign off for observation or classroom hours that are needed for education classes or certification. I just ask that if a student RSVP's that they will attend they plan to come to the entire event from 11:30-3. Lunch will also be served. I attached the formal invitation to the email which explains more about Portfolio Day. I really hope students at Queens College can make it to the event. It is truly an inspirational day for all students and educators. Please RSVP to MMilana(a)hillsidearts.org<mailto:MMilana@hillsidearts.org> by February 7th. Thank you! Meghan Milana '16 Mathematics Teacher Hillside Arts & Letters Academy 167-01 Gothic Drive Jamaica, NY 11432 718-658-1249

Please direct to the center the students you think need extensive assistance.

To find out more about this service, as well as the Writing Center's philosophy, policies, and procedures, you can go to the Center's website, http://writingatqueens.qc.cuny.edu/the-writing-center/<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001st9zDUKzbylJgliyBQvu089x_vyPXz6DhmZ-1jyy9GDg…>.
