"The idea is to steer the rising ninth-graders toward higher education and a deeper appreciation for the sciences," said Harold Woodard. associate dean of the UNC-CH Office for Student Counseling. The mission dovetails with a movement prominent among American Indians today, said Dr. Freda Porter-Locklear, a Lumbee Indian who directs this AISES Comprehensive Enrichment Program. "Through its educational grams. AISES provides opportur for American Indians and Alask tives to pursue degrees in scu engineering, business and other demic areas," said Porter-Lock "The trained professionals thet come technologically informed! ers within the Indian commun AISES' goal is to be a catalyst fa advancement of American Indians as they seek to become self-reliant and self-determined members ofsociety."

AISES recruits for its Comprehensive Enrichment Program through I nd ian Education agencies in predom inantlv Indian areas, said Porter-Locklear. Acceptanoe is based on merit. Applicants submit grade-point averages. recommendation letters and personal essays about their goals and how those incorporate math and science. "The program is highly soughtafter, " Porter-Locklear. "We had will over 200 applicants for our 42 slots>' And the program get the results. "The AISES pre-college program has 10 years of experience in conducting summer intensive courses in mathematics and science," said Porter-Locklear. "Students who have attended at least three years of AISES summer programs show a 90 percent retention rate in high school, compared to 64 percent for American Indians nationally. Of 30 (enrichment program) students who graduated in 1994, 90 percent are currently enrolled in higher education." Correction In last week's Pembroke Kiwanis Report several errors were made.
