Welcome to the UC Merced Hmong Student Association's 2021 Educational Conference Mentee Application!
This year's conference will be a one day event on January 29th, 2022 starting from 10am - 6:30pm.
This year, our conference's theme is on "Empower." With this conference, we hope to empower the youth to take initiative while embracing their own unique individuality and in doing so, empower others to do the same as well. We will provide several educational workshops and opportunities for you to learn and grow as a youth while getting a head start in planning for your budding futures.
As we are still currently in a pandemic and since our conference will be held when everyone is returning from the holidays, we will be requiring for mentees and other attendees to send in a 72 hour COVID19 negative test prior to the day of the event. We will also be practicing social distancing and managing sanitation at all times throughout the event to secure everyone's safety.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide transportation this year due to the pandemic. However, we are opening our conference to allow a maximum of only two parent(s)/legal guardian(s) to attend this event in hopes of lessening students' worries on transportation. Parent(s)/legal guardian(s) must also provide a negative COVID19 test as well.
We hope that you understand that we must take proper precautions according to the CDC's and UC Merced's COVID-19 regulations in order to ensure safety for all attendees. We are ecstatic that you are interested in joining our in person conference this year!
