Southeast Asian (SEA) Admit Weekend is held in collaboration by Southeast Asian Student Organizations at UCLA, including the Vietnamese Student Union, United Khmer Students, Thai Smakom, and the Association of Hmong Students. SEA Admit Weekend seeks to promote higher education, increase community consciousness, and provide a safe and supportive Southeast Asian community on campus. In addition, we would also like to introduce Southeast Asian admits to the vast variety of opportunities and resources available at UCLA.

The three-day, three-night weekend will be taking place from April 14th-April 17th, 2016. The event includes workshops, a talent show, student/alumni panelists, and keynote speakers, as well as tours and a chance to experience student life with UCLA Housing and Dining.

The ultimate goal is to allow students to experience what it might be like to be a UCLA student in a supportive Southeast Asian community and build the next generation of empowered student leaders. An award-winning event like SEA Admit weekend would not be possible without its amazing Coordinators, Facilitators, and Family Heads, so please apply!

BRIEF SUMMARY OF APPLICATIONS

CO-CHAIR*
As a co-chair you are expected to be familiar with planning an event of this type or scale. You will meet several times weekly, including with staff, your fellow co-chairs, and with individual components/coordinators. Upon meeting with fellow co-chairs, you will assist in planning and executing staff meetings as well as a retreat. You are a representative of the entire program itself. Since each co-chair will be meeting with, working with, and managing certain components (i.e., providing guidance), it is strongly preferred that co-chairs have had experience volunteering for SEA Admit or similar programs. Lastly, you must also be available the weekend of the event.

Please note that there may be a mandatory retreat for all staff during Winter Quarter.

*CO-CHAIR APPLICATIONS DUE JAN. 3, 2015 @ 11:59pm*

COORDINATOR
Coordinators and their Co-Coordinators (if applicable) are responsible for different aspects of the weekend like Food, Transportation, and Housing. Certain Coordinators will be in charge of a committee (for example, Family Head and Workshops Coordinators work with sub-committees who apply through a separate application). Coordinators meet at least once weekly (most likely Tuesdays) with staff, and schedule separate meeting times with the co-chairs and their committees where applicable. Coordinators must be present the entire weekend and are expected to act as general volunteers throughout the program, especially if their coordinator responsibilities are complete by the beginning of the weekend (i.e. outreach, housing, fiscal, etc.)

Please note that there may be a mandatory retreat for all staff during Winter Quarter.

*COORDINATOR APPLICATIONS DUE JAN. 10TH, 2015 @ 11:59PM*

FACILITATOR
Facilitators work alongside their respective coordinators in regular meetings. Facilitators include Workshop Facilitators and Tour Facilitators. Workshop Facilitators will be able to develop and execute their own workshops. Tour Facilitators will be able to lead students through campus tours or tour stations.

*TOUR/WORKSHOP FACILITATOR APPLICATIONS DUE JAN. 15th, 2015 @ 11:59pm*

FAMILY HEADS
Family heads work in pairs to serve as guiding mentors for groups of students throughout the weekend. They will work alongside their respective coordinator to ensure that they are properly trained and prepared to assist the students. They are expected to be generally knowledgeable about the UCLA campus, academic policies, student opportunities, Southeast-Asian-specific resources, and the purpose and mission of the Southeast Asian Admit Weekend. It is preferred, but not required, that family heads have had some volunteering experience with SEA Admit in the past, such as a facilitator, coordinator, etc. In addition, family heads who are at least second years are strongly preferred.

Please note that there may be a mandatory retreat for all staff during Winter Quarter.
