College Search Workshops for Penn Faculty and Staff Families

In collaboration with Penn Human Resources, Penn Admissions will host workshops for Penn faculty and staff families with high school-aged students to help answer questions about the college search process. 
 
College-bound students and their parents can be overwhelmed by the choices and requirements of college admission. What courses are important to take in high school?  How significant are good grades, extracurricular activities, essays, test scores, and interviews?  What should a prospective student look for in a college? 
 
Workshops on Tuesday, June 7 will discuss these questions and more with Penn faculty and staff and their families, whether students plan to apply to Penn or elsewhere.  The program will feature Eric J. Furda C’87, Dean of Admissions; Elaine P. Varas, Senior University Director, Student Financial Aid; Margaret Lewis, Manager of Tuition Benefits, Human Resources; as well as Penn Admissions staff who will lead grade specific discussions and exercises.
