For students entering Grades 9-12.

Drop-In Program:
Monday, October 16, 6:00-8:00 pm

This workshop is aimed at students who are getting ready to write their college admissions essays or want to get a head start on the process. In the class, students will learn how to write to the audience for their application — the admissions committee who’ll be reading their essays. They’ll also learn how to turn personal stories into strong arguments for admission. Through role-playing, free-writing, and small-group dialogue, students will leave with a thorough first brainstorm of their essays, a community of other applicants, and greater confidence surrounding the whole college admissions process.
