Camp College provided rising seniors from across the state the opportunity to learn about the college search and application process firsthand from college admissions professionals and high school counselors. Participants learned how to navigate a college fair, write an essay and identify which college they feel is the best fit.
They also received information about financial aid and many other topics to help them navigate their college search. In addition, participants were paired with a counselor who will act as their mentor throughout the upcoming school year.
“We are excited to have hosted approximately 50 students and their guests at SIUE,” said Kelley Brooks, assistant director of Admissions. “Our hope is that they learned more about the college search process, felt the welcoming atmosphere from the SIUE community, and discovered that SIUE is a great place to be.”
