Whether you're new to FAFSA or exploring future college possibilities, this is an opportunity to reflect, build confidence in navigating higher education pathways, and ask academic professionals any lingering questions you may have.

This session is designed to help you feel confident, prepared, and clear about how to begin, not overwhelmed. Whether college is just an idea or already on the horizon, now is the perfect moment to start shaping your voice.
You’ll hear honest considerations from current college students and staff about what life is really like on campus, academics, social life, support systems, and everything in between. This is a chance to ask your own questions, explore what college might feel like for you, and start picturing yourself in that space.
The final day is a quiet turning point, a chance to feel what the week has sparked. It offers time to recognize what’s shifted, what’s been discovered, and what might come next, while celebrating that journey together.
Help us raise awareness of our mission and programs by sharing our website, social media pages, and events with your friends, family, and colleagues.
