College Readiness Workshop

Ready, Set, Go!: College Readiness Workshop Saturday, November 15th, 2014

Ready, Set, Go! (RSG) is a college readiness workshop put on by the University of Texas Senate of College Councils, directed towards high school students and parents from the Austin area. Each fall, the Recruitment & Retention Committee hosts RSG in an effort to engage high school students interested in continuing their education by providing them with resources necessary for college preparation and valuable insight into the college experience. The workshop can accommodate up to 120 students, plus parents . The fall workshop typically focuses on juniors and seniors learning about the application process, although students from all grades are welcome. The workshop schedule includes: presentations by different academic services on campus, peer advising sessions facilitated by current UTstudents, a mock lecture given by a current faculty member, parent sessions to provide information regarding relevant matters, such as financial aid and housing cost, and an introduction to the collegiate experience.

On behalf of the Senate of College Councils, we would like to invite you to attend the fall Ready, Set, Go! College Readiness Workshop on Saturday, November 15th, 2014. It will take place from approximately 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. on the University of Texas at Austin campus.

Free breakfast and lunch will be provided to those in attendance. Detailed information will be sent out closer to the date of the actual event. If you have any questions, please contact utreadysetgo@gmail.com.
