          Helping  others  achieve
          their dreams and goals is
          a  central  component  to
          Epsilon Gamma Omega's
          High  School  mentoring
          program, ASCEND.

          EGO  had  24  students
          graduate    from      the
          program at Alabama A &
          M University.

          The program began with a
          Science    Smart    Fair.
          Students were challenged to conduct a science project, display their project and defend it. Topics ranged from
          Cloud Formation, Optical Illusions, Benefits of Insulin among Diabetic Patients to the Canine Comprehension.

                                                    Next,  EGO  members  Mildred

                                                    with ASCEND students, gave an
                                                    overview  of  the  program.  The
