Jan. 23, 2019 – The School of Education is pleased to announce they are hosting a “Come to College” event this Saturday, Jan. 26. This event will engage with Ventura County’s foster youth and give them information about college and the options available to them. The students will tour the campus and view a presentation about the opportunities they have after high school.
In addition to the campus tour and presentation, students will be treated to lunch, followed by a panel presentation with current CSUCI PATH (Promoting Achievement Through Hope) students. These students have experience navigating the difficulties of pursuing higher education while facing additional adversity and can offer insight and support to those who are unsure about college due to personal circumstances.
By hosting an in-person tour and creating connections to current students, the hope is that these local high school and community college students will see that reaching college and graduating with a degree are more within reach than they ever thought possible.
