While the summer is traditionally a slow period at Canada,
ACCEL has been busy collaborating with faculty and staff to identify new ways
to support students on and off campus. Current projects in development
include preparing a welcoming space on Floor 2 of Building 9 to house the Dream
Center, slated to open in Fall 2016, that will provide immigrant students with
college and community resources. Due to the success of the Math Jam,
Physics Jam and Word Jam, a new jam program dedicated to Career Skills is
currently being drafted by the Business, Design and Workforce Division with the
support of ACCEL. Tentatively, a pilot version will be offered on-campus
in October 2016 with the goal of bringing it to Menlo Park in the future to
strengthen community outreach. Speaking of which, ACCEL will be meeting
with several partners at Puente de la Costa Sur in Pescadero later this month
to explore how Canada can promote our programs and services to the local
populations along the coast.
