( kids getting dorm tour)

00:16.866 --> 00:18.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Guide: Once you guys finish
elementary,

00:18.066 --> 00:24.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
then you'll go to high school
then to college.

00:24.366 --> 00:25.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Daniel: The fun thing about
the dorms, guys,

00:25.600 --> 00:26.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
is that every student
can pick and chose

00:26.666 --> 00:27.900 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
how you want
to set up your room.

00:27.933 --> 00:29.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So if you want
set up a bunk bed

00:29.900 --> 00:31.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
you can do that, sweet.

00:31.133 --> 00:32.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
If you want to put
a couch in the room,

00:32.533 --> 00:34.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that's awesome,
you can do that too.

00:34.166 --> 00:36.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rob: This college
dorm room may be small,

00:36.333 --> 00:39.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
but it made a BIG
impression on this group

00:39.133 --> 00:40.300 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
of fourth graders.

00:40.333 --> 00:42.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Noah: What was good
about the dorms was...

00:42.666 --> 00:45.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
being able to do
things yourself and,

00:45.800 --> 00:50.333 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
like, put things up and, you
get to design how your dorm,

00:50.366 --> 00:52.400 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
whatever you want
your dorm to be.

Rob: As these kids take
a tour of Azusa Pacific

00:56.000 --> 00:59.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
University, they begin to
see possibilities....

00:59.766 --> 01:03.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
of living independently...
of socializing...

01:03.100 --> 01:05.233 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
of being in college.

01:05.266 --> 01:07.566 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
And that's
precisely the point.

01:07.600 --> 01:09.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Laura: College is very
abstract for a lot of my

01:09.866 --> 01:12.500 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
students, most would be the
first to attend college in

01:12.533 --> 01:13.566 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
their family.

01:13.600 --> 01:17.100 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
So this brings it into the
concrete world for them,

01:17.133 --> 01:19.000 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
as opposed to
think abstract world.

01:19.033 --> 01:20.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Otherwise, it really
seems like a dream,

01:21.000 --> 01:22.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
something they see in a
movie or something they see

01:22.466 --> 01:23.166 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
in a TV show.

01:23.200 --> 01:24.733 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
It's not
reality, it's fantasy.

01:24.766 --> 01:27.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
But it takes that fantasy
and makes it a reality

01:27.700 --> 01:28.600 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
for them.

01:28.633 --> 01:30.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rob: Azusa Pacific
University is a private

01:30.700 --> 01:33.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
college in the
San Gabriel Valley.

01:33.266 --> 01:35.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
They've partnered with
the Azusa Unified School

01:35.566 --> 01:38.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
District on a 9-week
program called CHAMP.

01:38.466 --> 01:40.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Arturo: The CHAMP program,
which stands for college

01:40.733 --> 01:44.866 align:left position:15% line:59% size:75%
headed and mighty proud, uh,
began with an idea that if

01:44.900 --> 01:50.066 align:left position:15% line:59% size:75%
we expose students at a very
young age to a college-going

01:50.100 --> 01:53.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
culture, uh, that we could
have an impact on their

01:53.733 --> 01:54.700 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
future lives.

01:54.733 --> 01:57.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Michelle: The program
started 28 years ago and

01:57.366 --> 02:00.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
over 13 thousand um local
elementary students have

02:00.433 --> 02:02.100 align:left position:22.5% line:59% size:67.5%
gone through the CHAMP
program where they're

02:02.133 --> 02:04.033 align:left position:32.5% line:59% size:57.5%
learning about
college readiness,

02:04.066 --> 02:08.300 align:left position:20% line:59% size:70%
goal setting and really
instilling a future and a

02:08.333 --> 02:10.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
hope for university.

02:10.066 --> 02:13.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Rob: The CHAMP program
begins in the classroom for

02:13.100 --> 02:16.166 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
all 400 of the
district's fourth graders.

02:16.200 --> 02:18.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
They meet weekly with
college students from Azusa

02:18.766 --> 02:22.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Pacific University who are
enrolled in a course called

02:22.166 --> 02:23.300 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Diversity in the Classroom.

02:23.333 --> 02:27.900 align:left position:17.5% line:59% size:72.5%
Jada: Last week we talked
about college activities and

02:27.933 --> 02:30.000 align:left position:30% line:59% size:60%
what living on
campus is like.

02:30.033 --> 02:32.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Next week I think we'll
be talking about

02:32.166 --> 02:34.666 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
college applications.

02:34.700 --> 02:38.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Rob: Jada Javier is a college
mentor with the program.

02:38.200 --> 02:41.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
She says the message really
comes to life on the week

02:42.000 --> 02:45.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that the kids get to see the
college campus with their

02:45.100 --> 02:46.600 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
very own eyes.

02:46.633 --> 02:49.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jada: Did you guys
see the dorms over there?

02:49.100 --> 02:49.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Students: Yeah!

02:49.866 --> 02:50.966 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
That's where I live.

02:51.000 --> 02:52.933 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Yeah, that's where I live.

02:52.966 --> 02:54.133 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Student: The skeleton?

02:54.166 --> 02:55.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Jada: No, not the skeleton
but I know which one you're

02:55.600 --> 02:56.433 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
talking about.

02:56.466 --> 02:58.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jada: The CHAMP
Program really gives you

02:58.200 --> 03:00.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
such a great opportunity
to practice how to be

03:00.933 --> 03:04.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
inclusive, how to get to
know your students in a

03:04.100 --> 03:06.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
personal way, and just how
to cater to people

03:06.966 --> 03:08.900 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
who are different.

03:08.933 --> 03:12.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Arturo: What really makes
this program stand out is

03:12.200 --> 03:15.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that fact that it's college
students who are making

03:15.533 --> 03:17.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
connections
with our students.

03:17.500 --> 03:20.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Because without that, I
think it would be just

03:20.400 --> 03:22.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
another curriculum,
uh, just another tour,

03:22.533 --> 03:26.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but having that special
person come to see you every

03:26.800 --> 03:30.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
week for nine weeks is what
I think really makes this

03:30.766 --> 03:31.466 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
stand out.

03:31.500 --> 03:33.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rob: At the end
of the program,

03:33.033 --> 03:36.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the school district and
college hold a graduation

03:36.266 --> 03:40.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
ceremony with all the pomp
and circumstance of a real

03:40.200 --> 03:41.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
college graduation.

03:41.366 --> 03:44.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Michelle: We invite the, the
parents and the community

03:44.466 --> 03:47.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
to, to rally around these
kids who walk across the

03:47.500 --> 03:49.366 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
stage and hear
their name called out,

03:49.400 --> 03:52.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
'future teacher majoring in
liberal studies.' And they

03:52.566 --> 03:56.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
get to see this vision and
hope for the future um that,

03:56.200 --> 03:58.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that maybe their, that other
in their family haven't

03:58.300 --> 03:59.500 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
gotten to experience.

03:59.533 --> 04:02.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rob: Azusa Pacific
University guarantees

04:02.933 --> 04:06.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
admission to any student in
the district who meets the

04:06.166 --> 04:07.900 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
minimum requirements.

04:07.933 --> 04:11.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
The college also sets aside
scholarships just for

04:11.100 --> 04:12.500 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
local residents.

04:12.533 --> 04:16.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
But the bigger goal is to
set kids on any college

04:16.333 --> 04:20.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
path, whether at a two-year
or four-year university.

04:20.100 --> 04:24.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And organizers say fourth
grade is an ideal time to

04:24.200 --> 04:25.000 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
plant the idea.

04:25.033 --> 04:26.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Laura: Once they
hit fourth grade,

04:26.866 --> 04:29.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
they are more
independent, they're,

04:29.600 --> 04:31.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
they're thinking
for themselves more,

04:31.066 --> 04:33.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
they're taking
charge of their learning.

04:33.033 --> 04:36.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And it's just the perfect
time for them to consider

04:36.766 --> 04:37.733 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
these things.

04:37.766 --> 04:39.633 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
Cole: I've been starting
to think about college,

04:39.666 --> 04:42.433 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and my thoughts were that
I kind of want to go now.

04:42.466 --> 04:45.133 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Thomas: I think our
tour today was great,

04:45.166 --> 04:48.233 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
because we like, learned new
stuff and we saw these

04:48.266 --> 04:49.733 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
new things.

04:49.766 --> 04:53.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
My favorite part was
uh, the turtle exhibit.

04:54.000 --> 04:56.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Rob: The fourth graders,
college students and

04:56.200 --> 04:58.966 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
organizers all
agree....today's college

04:59.000 --> 05:02.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
visit day was a success -
bringing to life a whole new

05:02.833 --> 05:05.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
world of opportunities.

05:05.400 --> 05:08.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Jada: They were saying after
today they are so excited to

05:08.533 --> 05:11.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
apply for college and are
so excited for what that's

05:11.333 --> 05:12.633 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
going to be like.

05:12.666 --> 05:14.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And to me, you know, like
that's the whole goal of

05:14.233 --> 05:17.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
this program, is to inspire
kids to want to go to

05:17.466 --> 05:19.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
college and to
want to pursue it,

05:19.633 --> 05:21.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and so the fact that
APU visit day has kind of

05:21.766 --> 05:24.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
brought that desire in them
makes me really happy and

05:24.400 --> 05:26.866 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
it's really heartwarming.

05:26.900 --> 05:29.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Students: College headed
and mighty proud!

05:29.666 --> 05:31.600 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Guide: Everyone say cheese!

05:31.633 --> 05:33.033 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Students: Cheese!
