Grades: 9-12 Virtual College Tour!


We have been diligently arranging for our upcoming 2007 LCDLC Virtual College Tour scheduled for Tuesday, November 20th 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. (Call begins at 7:00 A.M. including test time). This is a videoconference where your students can interact with presenters from six different universities in one day! The format for this event is very interactive. A 25 minute presentation is given by a representative from the university. A 20 minute Q & A session follows. Schools who wish to participate should plan to be a part of the entire day. However, this does not mean you have to have students available for each session, but it is highly encouraged. You may choose to have different students participate in different sessions as well.

Have your students visit with colleges from around the state via your IVDL system. On November 20th, students from Lorain County will visit with admissions officers to discover the course offerings, campus environment, and benefits of attending at several universities. Each 45-minute session will include a short overview of the campus, the programs available, and other related information to attending the college. Time will be provided for questions and answers so that students may ask specific questions.



The presenters schedule is as follows:

8:00 - 8:45 Lorain County Community College
9:00 - 9:45 Miami University
10:00 - 10:45 University of Cincinnati
11:00 - 11:45 The Ohio State University
12:00 - 12:45 Kent State University
1:00 - 1:45 Bowling Green State University
