College Fit Presentation

Last week, learners in College & Career Advisory had the opportunity to hear Brittany Slaughter (Director of Regional Admissions for Elon University) speak about finding the right college fit. The presentation included information on community/public/private colleges and universities, in-state vs. out-of-state school choice, factors that contribute to college choice, and much more.

Thank you Ms. Slaughter and Elon University!

College Workshop Resource 

Exploring College Options is a special informational program sponsored by the undergraduate admissions offices of five of the country’s leading universities: Duke University, Georgetown University, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford University.

Representatives from each university will present information about their institution, discuss the application process, and answer questions on how to put together a strong and reflective application. Each program will end with breakout sessions where representatives will answer questions about their specific school and the application process. This fall, we are offering both in-person and virtual programs, with each program featuring the same content.

All virtual programs are listed in Eastern Daylight Time.
