Throughout the fall, representatives from a variety of universities and colleges will pay a visit to SJHHS. These visits will offer students different choices they may be interested in after graduating.

It is important to have an open mind and consider the various options that colleges and universities provide. Career Guidance Specialist, Ann Bergen, said students “need to know what else is out there. They need a backup for their backup plan.”

Junior and senior year are the most important times for students to be involved in these college conferences offered at SJHHS. Students often panic at the thought of entering college, but these useful sessions will help students plan ahead and guide them to success.

Making the right decision is stressful, but with the help of representatives from universities or colleges, students can easily learn about the different options these schools offer. Most schools provide students with exciting ways to get information about them, and students should make sure to sign up on the university’s contact sheet so they can remain up to date as the application window approaches.

There are several options specifically designed for curious students that want to know more about the schools’ procedures.

Donte Green, a representative from Grand Canyon University, explained the Discover GCU program, and said students can “spend the night in the dorms, get the food you would eat, there’s an event planned for you guys.”

Students can also receive information about the schools’ offered majors.

UC San Diego representative John Huart said “ Biology is our most popular, in the past Biology has been impacted, remember I said engineering was impacted.”

If one would like to bypass college, military representatives will be meeting in the guidance office next week.
