We are BACK with the Exploring College Newsletter! This newsletter (compiled by two of our lovely EC mentors) gives an overview of how our programming is running this fall and provides information on how to join! We also give some highlights from our summer program and share some fun anecdotes to get to know our mentors for Fall 2020. Read the entire edition below!
