3 East Los Angeles College Department of Social Sciences African American Studies, Asian American Studies, Economics, History, Political Science, Sociology Department Office: E5-118, (323) Helen Miller Bailey Memorial Scholarship Award 2012 Dr. Helen Miller Bailey served as chair of the Social Science Department from 1946 to She was an expert in Latin American History and often traveled to Mexico. She contributed immensely to the sociology and political science disciplines. She published many books and her photograph and art collections were research sources in several fields. The college library was named after her in recognition of life work. Dr. Bailey was tireless in promoting the interests of Hispanic students and the community at large. Her efforts to get the state to improve the quality of education for Chicano students date back to the early 1950s. She was a member of numerous social service organizations in the community and she raised thousands of dollars in scholarships, enabling needy students to pursue a college education. Through her instruction and mentoring she inspired a generation of leaders coming out of the East Los Angeles area, including former US Ambassador Julian Nava. This scholarship was created to further her guidance of Hispanic students, but students of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The selection criteria are based on the 'model' set by Dr. Bailey. Selection criteria: * a current ELAC student who will continue at ELAC or transferring to a 4-year * a major in History, Political Science, Sociology, Economics or a related field is required * completion of at least one semester at East Los Angeles College with a B average or better * a complete application, including an essay, a recent transcript, and two letters of recommendation * career plans that follow the model set by Dr. Bailey; preference will be given to candidates who plan to return to the community and to help others In partnership with the ELAC Foundation, the Social Sciences Department sponsors the Helen Miller Bailey Scholarship. The selection of scholarship recipients and the distribution of funds will be performed by a committee selected by the Social Sciences Department. Scholarships range from $100 to 1,000.

8 Dear ELAC Faculty Members: Project MATCH The Los Angeles Community College District s Project MATCH (Mentors Act To Change History) faculty internship program is looking for full time and part-time faculty to mentor the 2012 interns. This program began in 1991 in an effort to recruit classroom faculty, librarian, and counseling interns and provide them with an opportunity to learn and practice skills appropriate for working with community college students. Project MATCH interns are fully qualified in their respective disciplines but have no prior college teaching experience. As a mentor, you will receive an $800 stipend for guiding your intern as he or she explores a community college career. Mentors are needed for day and evening schedules (Monday Friday). During the fall semester, each intern will participate in one of his or her mentor s courses. Project MATCH has proven to be a very rewarding experience for both mentors and interns. Over the past 20 years, many Project MATCH interns have become successful instructors, counselors, and librarians within the LACCD. If you are interested in mentoring an intern, please contact the Project MATCH Coordinator, Joanna Zimring Towne zimringj@piercecollege.edu for the application forms. The ELAC contact is Gabriella Lopez, Librarian lopezgm@elac.edu. The deadline for submission is Friday, April 20th.
