From the "Imagine College" series

Update: if you want to "walk" with Seaside High and CSUMB officials, and promote the "Imagine College" program, Saturday is your chance: meet the group at 8 a.m. at the school, then leave to visit about 275 freshmen. Some will be ready to meet you, some will still be in PJs, but it's a very rewarding experience, administrators say.

Folks involved with "Imagine College," a project to inspire high school students of the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District to plan for their higher education always seem busy. This weekend, they'll hold their "Imagine College Walk for Success" when school board members, retired teachers, community representatives, and CSUMB Service Learners, will walk door-to-door to inform Seaside High families of freshmen students about the four-year, $4,000-scholarship available to their children.

Imagine College is a joint project of CSUMB and MPUSD, where high school students spend summers at the university learning cool stuff -- like how to make videos, etc. Seaside High students are also eligible for a $4,000 scholarship as part of the same program. So Seaside freshman, if someone's knocking on your door Saturday morning, you'll know who!
