    Marion Alter, a long time friend, suggested that I look at your website. My career was devoted to working with students in the SEEK an Open Admissions programs at CUNY and my set of experiences relate to what young people need to know or learn in a hurry when they get to college. My possible contribution might be some of the sources we used and some contacts with people currently working at the college level with underprepared students. This is a bit top down in your program, but feel free to contact me if you think I can be helpful.
