Destination: College Student-Athletes Explore Manhattanville College, Mercy, and Pace University

Recently, over three exciting days, our Destination: College student-athletes took part in a series of college campus tours, visiting Manhattanville College, Mercy University, and Pace University — all guided by our Director of College Programs, Saskya Molina and Destination: College volunteers.

These visits are more than just tours — they’re a key part of our college readiness program, helping students imagine themselves on campus, connect their academic and athletic goals, and experience firsthand what college life can look like.

During the tours, students met with admissions counselors, explored classrooms, residence halls, and facilities, and even connected with DC alumni currently studying at Pace and Mercy. Hearing their stories and advice added an inspiring personal touch — showing our student-athletes that with dedication and support, their own college dreams are within reach.

At Destination: College, we believe that exposure is empowerment. Experiences like these help our students set goals, stay motivated, and understand the steps needed to succeed in higher education and beyond.

A heartfelt thank-you to Manhattanville College, Mercy University, and Pace University for welcoming our students — and to our incredible alumni for sharing their time and wisdom!
