SHA DREAM Monthly Snapshot February 2015 Program Happenings and Highlights • • The Tufts DREAM program participated in the Annual Boston DREAMstock hosted by the Boston DREAM office. One mentor co-facilitated in a workshop called “Meeting Facilitation”. Here she was able to share how she takes meeting notes during her mentor meetings and the importance of making meeting notes easy to understand. • Mentors successfully recruited 3 freshmen guys (which was their target) and 3 junior ladies. Since the juniors will be graduating seniors next year, the mentors have decided not to pair them but allow them to still participate in the program. • Mentors have decided that their culminating will be to a Flatbreads Birthday Party or Community BBQ
