High school sophomores and juniors to 'preview' RichmondSpring is a busy time for high school students, especially sophomores and juniors who are just beginning to survey their college options. Many of them will soon be visiting the Richmond campus to participate in two programs sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Preview Richmond for high school sophomores and juniors will begin in the Modlin Center on Wednesday, March 23, and Friday, April 1. “Preview targets prospective students for Richmond’s classes of 2010 and 2011,” said Pam Spence, dean of admission. The programs are designed to introduce these students and their parents to the college selection process. They will learn “admission lingo” and the factors a committee considers when selecting a class. They will find out what makes Richmond distinctive by talking with faculty about Richmond’s academic programs and with students about their experiences. They can also take a campus tour, see a residence hall and eat lunch in the dining hall. The admission office expects to host 200–300 students and their parents for each preview program. Information about Preview Richmond can be found at www.richmond.edu/visit/preview.htm. “While organized by the Office of Undergraduate Admission, it will take the entire campus to host these important visitors to campus,” said Spence.
