Dear Colleagues,

We hope 2024 is off to a good start for you! As your Seniors eagerly await their college admissions decisions (or celebrate some early decision good news!), your Juniors may be turning their attention more seriously to their college searches.

A topic students often have questions about is college visits. Do they have to visit in person? Are virtual visits any good? How do you plan for and make the most of a trip? What should you be looking for?

That's why we're hosting a virtual event covering college visits! We encourage you to share the event with your students. If attending the live event isn't feasible, we post many of our recorded webinars on our YouTube page as well.
