This summer Great Expectations at Germanna Community College is trying something new to help foster youth feel ready for college-level work.

Brand new students are encouraged to attend a Great Expectations Student Development class. This 2-day seminar is hosted on July 15th and 16th. It is only available for students who are eligible for Great Expectations and provides students with an opportunity to build community and get credit for their first college class. Both days start at 9:00am and end at 5:00pm. Lunch is provided!

July 17th – 21st is a week-long bridge program for new and returning students that focuses on building the soft skills necessary to be successful in college. Each day starts at 9:00am and ends at 12:30pm. Lunch is provided. Students receive a goody bag with school supplies and other materials at the end of the week.

Virginia does not have my degree!

Is a degree program you’d like to pursue not available in your state? Have you found a degree program at an out-of-state institution, but the higher tuition is a barrier?

Looking for out-of-state college options with lower tuition?

For more than 35 years, SREB’s Academic Common Market has enabled students to pursue out-of-state college degrees at in-state tuition rates, through agreements among the states and colleges and universities. Virginia is one of these states. For more information visit the Academic Common Market website HERE.

You did it!

You made it though the first week!  Congratulations! Now keep up the good work when you return next week!  I hope to have some more information on what the Career Coach is doing.  Stay tuned.
