After-School Tutorial Students Participate in University Visits to Prepare for College

Students participating in after-school tutorial programs were recently afforded the opportunity to visit several universities as part of a High School Day college tour experience. These visits were designed to help students prepare for life after high school by exposing them to college campuses and providing insight into what to expect in higher education.

During the university visits, students explored campus facilities, attended informational sessions, and learned about academic programs, admissions requirements, and student life. The experience allowed students to ask questions, interact with college representatives, and gain a better understanding of the expectations and responsibilities of college students.

The college tours served as an extension of the after-school tutorial program’s mission to support academic growth while encouraging long-term goal setting. By participating in High School Days, students were able to envision themselves in a college environment, build confidence, and begin planning for their future educational pathways.

These university visits reflect a commitment to college and career readiness by providing students with meaningful experiences beyond the classroom. The after-school tutorial program continues to support students by offering academic assistance, enrichment opportunities, and exposure to postsecondary options that prepare them for future success.
