The Institute for Public School Initiatives (IPSI) at UT just posted the positions for the College Prep Advisors, listed as Student Development Specialist II.  These positions will be housed in middle schools in four low-income school districts to support campus GEAR UP activities, and will be supervised by our IPSI manager here in Austin.  The GEAR UP program focuses on promoting equal access to education and educational excellence for low-income, underrepresented and underserved students.  Specifically, these College Prep Advisors will support students in academic achievement, rigorous course selection, engaging in meaningful summer activities, and increasing family and community awareness of the GEAR UP program.
