visits Ball State
(GREENVILLE) About 45 Greenville High School juniors recently visited
Ball State University as part of the College Club.
While at Ball State, the students learned about admissions
requirements. They also toured the Muncie, Indiana campus before eating
lunch there.
“The College Club members now have had the opportunity to tour two
four-year college campuses, Ball State and Wright State, as well as a
community college, Sinclair,” noted Beth Sears, executive director of
Bridges to College.
The Greenville High School College Club, a joint effort between the GHS
Guidance Office and Bridges to College, is designed to educate high
school students about college.
Prior to going on the Ball State visit, the students were required to
attend a luncheon, where Chris Seger, Bridges to College board member
and admissions director at Ivy Tech-Richmond, provided basic
information about funding college. Students are required to attend the
educational luncheon before going on the college visit.
In April, 2013, the College Club juniors will have the opportunity to
visit Miami University. During the fall of their senior year, they will
visit Indiana University - East.
“We’re hoping that College Club will better prepare students for the
college admissions and financial aid process,” said Becky Curtis,
Greenville High School counselor.
The Ball State University trip was funded partially from a Greenville
Schools Foundation grant and partially from Bridges to College. The
College Club is seeking funding for its trip to Miami University in
April, 2013. Those wishing to contribute to future trips may make a
donation to an account set up through Greenville City Schools.
