Description
Join us for the SACAC Alabama Virtual Drive-in workshop to learn about case study programs hosted by Tulane University and the University of Georgia, highlighting key aspects of the application process at selective/competitive institutions. A representative from Alabama Possible will present about direct admissions programs, and our keynote speaker is Mr. Ronnie Stallworth, Sr., author of Cracks in the Wall*, an account of his own experience as a disadvantaged youth overcoming barriers to become successful in his life and career as an Engineer and philanthropist. The workshop will conclude with a “speed-dating” style of overviews from colleges to ensure counselors have the latest information to share with students.
