Weekend in the Classic City College Total Experience
The Weekend in the Classic City event registration site is
open, for the 2018 event, “Marveling at College.” Weekend in the Classic City,
hosted by Georgia Collegiate 4-H Club, provides high school youth (9th-12th
grade) the opportunity to learn more about higher education and life as a
college student. The event, held on the University of Georgia’s campus, offers
youth to explore:
College search process
Applications
Preparation for college life
Financial aid and scholarships
Student life and campus organizations
Explore workshops, a campus tour, eat at a university dining
hall, explore dormitory living, and experience, firsthand, the University of
Georgia.
NEW THIS YEAR
· Adult
leaders participating in Weekend in the Classic City have supervisory roles,
and play an integral part of the success of the event. Parents should not use
this event as an opportunity for an official campus visit, as they will have
adult assignments and responsibilities – please make this clear to volunteers
you send. I would instead encourage them to schedule an official visit at
https://visit.uga.edu/ separate from this event.
· In an effort
to streamline the process, payments will not be accepted at registration.
Please ensure your payment is postmarked by Friday, October 12, 2018.
