This year, CHANCE will be a 4-day on-campus, July 13-16, program for Latinx students currently in 11th grade. The first three days will include interactive sessions, fun activities, and lots of prizes. Things will wrap up with a half-day campus experience on Saturday with your family.
Some activities include:
- Experience on-campus life staying in a residence hall
- Attending class seminars (across several disciplines)
- Admissions and Financial Aid Information Sessions
- Leadership Development
- Cultural Experiences
- Civic Responsibility Activities
- Team-Building Activities
Participants will have a chance to engage with university professors, students, and staff to develop a network forging positive, healthy mentorship connections focused on academic success and personal growth. This program encourages Latinx students to attend college by increasing their awareness of higher education and showing that it is well within their reach. Parents and family members will also be getting information about UNCG and supporting their students through their college search process in their own language.
