1. The initial step is to talk to your student and determine if they are truly concerned about their future and the choices they must make in the future.
2. Discuss with your student that this program will take some work on their part.
- Students will be expected to review very short summaries of the speakers prior to each session
- Students will be expected to have thought some about the topic and be prepared to ask questions related to the topic, i.e. they must do more than just show up.
- Explain that this program is every week and once a student has enrolled they need to attend as many sessions as possible to gain the most benefit.  They can not just "cherry-pick" the ones they are interested in.  The purpose of the program, after all, is to open their eyes to careers they may not have known existed in the first place.
3. Send an email to _______ with your students name and their badge number or just fill out the form below. These two pieces of information are all that are needed to be able to add your student to the list. Remember, only 20 students will be allowed to attend. All others will be placed on a waiting list as some of the original 20 exit the program.

1. As a parent, you will be informed of the upcoming speakers and the subject they will be covering.
2. As a parent, you are encouraged to attend any and all sessions.  However, you will not be allowed to participate or ask questions since this is designed to focus all the attention on the students.
3. As a parent, you are encouraged to contact Mr. Reed with any questions or suggestions you may have.
4. If you have specific religious or cultural taboos about certain subjects this might not be the program for you. The speakers are mostly very highly educated scientists and simply follow scientific facts. Some of these facts make people uncomfortable but we will not restrict the speakers to make accommodations.

1. A student can ask at any time to be removed from the group.  Once they have been removed they will not be permitted to return because their chair will have been filled by another student.
2. History has shown that students find the first sessions difficult because of the adult/professional nature and they have had little practice asking probing questions.  They often want to leave because it is work to participate.  After about three sessions the students fully appreciate what is being presented and we never have time to answer all their questions.  They request to stand in front of the group and speak and they begin to ask difficult questions.  All the changes we have seen in previous years have been positive changes.
