Our senior class retreat this fall was at Hollins University. As always, it provided a clear and dedicated time and space away from family, work, and the classroom to tackle the college application process. This two day how-to experience helped the students with every aspect of the college application journey. It not only focused on the importance of writing effective essays, but students also participated in mock admissions panels. The students gained a new perspective on preparing their applications by acting as the admission department. They evaluated essays, transcripts, and letters of recommendation to determine which students they would admit to their university.
As an added treat, Professor Bonnie Bowes brought some friends with her to delight and educate our seniors during a welcomed break from their hard work.
They also had the pleasure having CHS alum, Ambrielle Viney, give them a tour of the university. Ambrielle is majoring in Business and minoring in French and also stopped by later just to hang out with the group.
