We're starting to see more announcements about College Application Week around the state, and we're getting excited!
To assist students in preparing for and applying to college, Newport High School will host College Application Week, starting Monday, Nov. 4.
We learn so much from watching what you do! One of our favorite finds so far this year comes from Hermiston High School. They've put together a list of what College Application Week is - and isn't. Check it out!
Hermiston's CAW is in the news! Check out this article on the Northeast Oregon Now website:
It won’t be long before high school seniors with college aspirations will need to start filling out applications to the school or schools of their choice.
Now's the time to get the word out about your College Application Week events! Kudos to Taft 7-12 for being the first Oregon site to make their local news this year!
From Lincoln City's local public radio station, KYAQ comes this plea for volunteers:
One of the things I love most about College Application Week is that it's intended to be customizable to each school, site, or community. No two CAW events look exactly the same because no two schools, sites, or communities are exactly the same. But that doesn't mean folks can't learn from each other, swap ideas, and implement successful elements of other sites' good work.
A few days ago, I posted Taft's schedule of events for their CAW week. Today, I'd like to share what Parkrose High School will be doing.
The Oregon University System (OUS) announced today that Governor Kitzhaber has proclaimed that November is Oregon College Application Month. High school seniors and GED candidates at thirty-two high schools and community based organizations throughout the state will actively heed the Governor’s call to apply to college by participating in Oregon’s College Application Week, November 4-8 and November 11-15.
September is a busy time in education - school's just starting and everyone is getting back into the swing of things. For seniors, the pace is picking up because it's time to get serious about their college plans.
College Application Week is still the new kid on the block in Oregon, and it's brand new at the vast majority of our sites this year. That means we need to do a bit of work to ensure that the people in our buildings and communities know about the initiative and how they can help.
We've been waiting to announce this tidbit of news until the time was just right. We wanted school back in session. We wanted seniors to be thinking about their college search. And we wanted site coordinators to be in the throes of planning their CAW events.
We think now is the right time!
We launched our #whyapply social media campaign just about a week ago, and in that time we've had some great feedback!
