The BEAR CUBS Program
Shawnee State's BEAR CUBS program, whose title is an
acronym for Building
Enthusiasm for
Access and
Retention in College
by Understanding the
Basics for
Success, is funded by a grant from
the Ohio Appalachian Center for Higher Education. The program serves
all ten school districts in Scioto County and selected schools in
Pike County. Each year, BEARS staff reach out to approximately 4,200
fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth grade students and point out the
values of academic achievement and attending college. The program
provides a variety of activities, including classroom presentations,
an evening program (Paving the Way) for students and parents, and
campus programs and visits. The emphasis of BEARS is on helping
students to explore career options available to them as well as the
value of adequate planning regarding careers that require a college
education.
For more information about the BEARS program, contact Lois Rase, the
coordinator, at 740.351.3543.
