I am very excited because today is the start of the new program year. This is the year that we are going to create an SEM Link community of our that consists of our community partners, corporate sponsors, donors, supporters, volunteers and most importantly the students that we serve.
I just want to update you on a few new things that are coming up on the horizon in the month of August. We will launch our new interactive website that explains who we are and what we do, makes it easier for individuals to donate and volunteer, makes it easier for parents and students to gain access to our services. We also showcase our niche in the promotion of academic achievement and career exploration in Math and Science with our new resources and career exploration pages.
I know that is a recession, but everyone has a little lunch money they can spare. So if you haven't done so already make the 2009-10 the year you donate some of your lunch money to support SEM Link. You can donate through paypal our email address is donate@semsuccess.org. When our website launches you can easily donate them.
As far as programs, we are truly excited we will continue to serve as a Community Partner for Cool Girls. Through our Math and Science Career Academy we will provide hands on activities and academic support in math and science for the Cool Scholars portion of the Cool Club after-school program. Also as a part of the Math and Science Career Academy, we will expand our Science Cafe' to include a monthly science cafe our first cafe will take place on September 17th and the topic will be Alternative Energy Sources.
We are expanding our Experimental Design Program, we will continue to accept applications for our Experimental Design Mentoring Program and provide judges for math and science fair. However now math and science teachers can request a mentor to provide support for their entire classrooms.
In addition, we are expanded our web presence and communication with our stakeholders. We will send out a monthly e-newsletter as well as press releases to media outlets. Today is day one of "unveiling potential through exposure". I'm excited and ready and look forward to your support.

About SEM Link
- SEM Link
- Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link, Inc. (SEM Link), a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, was founded in 2004 on the premise that exposure to members of the science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) communities is critical to student development in math and science. Our mission is to promote student achievement and career exploration in math and science while increasing student exposure to the science, engineering and mathematics communities and enhancing resources that are available at local schools and community organizations. Our two core programs, Math and Science Career Academy and Experimental Design Program, provide students with an opportunity to develop their math and science skills by enhancing the classroom learning experience and teaching them skills that are transferable to other areas of life. We recruit students and professionals for our programs that have backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Good luck this year! SEM Link has my support!
