(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Dear Chester High School Administration, Parents, and Students,
I am a non-traditional student, who has returned to Southern Illinois University Carbondale to complete my educational goals, currently I am a Workforce Education Major, of the School of Education and Human Services.
I am interested in how many students may be interested in a mentoring 1 week program at SIUC for college prep. For those interested please contact your school's counselor and [email protected].
Current ratings are 4.
Sincerely,
Rebekah Hillerman
