COLLEGE 360° Student Speakers Bureau
Recent research shows that many high school students from all backgrounds dream about going to college, but they have no idea how to do it. College 360° brings college students into regional high schools to talk with students about why they should get serious about higher education and the steps they need to take to get into, pay for, and succeed in college. By talking about your college experience, you can encourage local high schoolers to pursue their college dreams. If you are interested in being a student speaker, email College 360°.
