College Rep Visits are when an Admissions Counselor from a college comes to visit Dinwiddie to inform students about their College.
Why is it important to attend: These counselors who visit are often the same ones reading student's applications! Sometimes they give out fee waivers during meetings or give tips on the admissions process.
Workforce & Career: We are working to invite industry professionals as guest speakers to talk about how they got into their Career.
The College & Career Team hosts field trips to colleges in an effort to
Bring awareness to affordable education
Provide transportation to students who may not have access to touring
Requirements for Field trips going forward
