Future Readiness Night

Future Readiness Night provided an opportunity for Scranton High School students to begin preparing for their futures after high school graduation. Future Readiness Night included an Admissions Counselor Panel, where local college representatives participated in a panel discussion on relevant topics such as attending college, cost of tuition, and much more. University of Scranton graduate counseling students provided different work stations for Scranton High School students and participants. Participants moved from station to station at their own pace, received information and resources, and asked thoughtful questions. Counseling graduate students prepared a trifold presentation poster and a 1–2-page handout for the event. The station topics included: How to Select a College Major, How to Pick a College, Completing the Common Application, How to Visit a College, SAT/ACT Information, Guide to College Housing, Entering the Workforce, Succeeding in the Workforce, and How to “Adult.” At the conclusion of Future Readiness Night, prizes were raffled off to those who participated in the activities!

A special thank you to Dr. Eschbach and our graduate student volunteers for making this event possible! Station Leaders: Jillian Paulus, Daphne Leenas, Shelby Valvano, Edward Piekara, Kate Hamilton, Erin Williams, Katie Buckley, Mariah Carey, Caitlyn Cassara, and Auraleah Grega
