March Madness Update
During our annual March Madness, we welcome Juniors to the Cooney College Center for the first time. This year the sessions have been very popular and well attended. Our second session was led by our Director of College Success and focused on essay writing. For many students March Madness is a first exposure to “what’s next” in the college application process. With one more March Madness session to go, we are excited to begin the journey with the promising young women and men.
