Bridges to College offers College Night

(GREENVILLE) – Bridges to College is offering “College Night” at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 30, at St. Clair Memorial Hall.

“This free program will cover topics from the ACT to paying for college,” said Beth Sears, executive director of Bridges to College. “This program is designed for high school students and their parents.”

Some of the topics addressed during College Night will include the college selection process, the college search timeline, placement/assessment testing, admissions and financial aid, affordability, and tips for student success. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.

“If a student is considering college, I encourage the student and his or her parents to attend this program,” Sears said.

Bridges to College board member Chris Seger will be the presenter. Seger brings more than 15 years of college admissions and financial aid experience to the presentation. Before accepting her job as Director of Admissions for Ivy Tech Community College in Richmond, Seger worked in financial aid at three colleges, most recently the Ohio State University. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Wright State University and her Doctorate from the University of Missouri - St. Louis.

“Chris is very knowledgeable about both college admissions and financial aid,” Sears said. “She also can provide information about options to make college more affordable.”

Bridges to College helps students and their parents make educational plans after high school. This could mean going to a community college, a four-year university, or technical school.

Bridges to College is a non-profit organization that formed in 2006. It helps more students go to college through educational programming such as College Night, one-on-one mentoring of high school juniors and seniors, and need-based scholarships.
