LA-based oil company sends students to KU for summer

my Israeli and Jordanian vision is not limited to help rebuild cities in the United States.
Snaun Jordan is a young man with a vision.
"I want to rebuild the city of Venice," said Jordan, an 1898 graduate of Leavenworth High School. "There are lots of buildings with faulty structures, and I think of myself as rebuilding them."
Jordan is one of 11 minority high school students attending the University of Kansas this summer on a grant from the ARCO foundation, said Florence E. Boldridge, director of COsMREbase, the minority engineering organization. ARCO is a Los Angeles-based oil company.
College head start
"The focus of the program is students who have just graduated from high school and want a head start on their college careers," she said.
Students in the ARCO program take core courses in math and English and tour industrial facilities like the Dannel-Douglas plant in St Louis.
"It's been great," said Douglas Juarez, a 1989 graduate of Westport High School in Kansas City. Mo. "It an experience that not many students have. It makes me want to stay in engineering no matter what. I don't think it would have been possible otherwise."
Juarez said he was impressed by a talk given by Tom Mulinazzi, associate dean of engineering.
He gave an interesting view of

engineering," Juarez said. "He made it sound very exciting."
Juarez said he planned to get a degree in electrical engineering with the goal of working in industry.
The ARCO program provides funds for summer programs in 1989 and 1990 to support KU's goal of recruiting and retaining more minority students. Ten of the students plan to attend KU this fall, including eight in engineering. One student is leaning toward Kansas State University.
Inroads program
Boldridge is also local coordinator for the Inroads program. Inroads brings to campus minority students who are still in high school. The students study math and English and also take a course in learning strategies given by the division of continuing education.
Juaréz's sister, Claudia, a senior at Westport High School, is taking part in the Inroads program.
"I feel more comfortable about being here now that I know the campus is safe," she complied here for college, depending on scholarship aid." She said her

younger brother and sister hoped to be in the Inroads program at KU next summer.
"They'll probably follow us and attend KU also," she said.
She said she planned to major in chemistry or engineering.
LaShawna Bishop, a student at Southwest High School in Kansas City, Mo., is in the Inroads program.
"My friends said I was giving up my summer to come here," she said. "But this is good for my long-term goals. It will benefit me in the
Bishop said she wanted to study engineering.
"I might go to the University of Missouri," she said. "But coming here this summer opened up the possibility of coming to KU instead."
Farazd Sistani, Teheran, Iran, senior in aerospace engineering, is a resident assistant with the Inroads program
"I am really happy with the program," he said. "They are smart kids, and they are all doing really great. This program gives minority students a chance to think about coming to KU."
"The engineering departments give them presentations that give them a perspective on the field, and some experience. "Sissan said. "I emphasize that there are a lot of facilities here, and a chance for them to use them."
The students in both programs said they appreciated their opportunities
"I think there should be more programs like this for inner-city schools. Claudia Jureau said that they wanted to get in on it."
