College Summit
Description: In just one year, College Summit’s two year pilot program in New York expanded from 110 seniors in two schools to 575 seniors in seven schools located in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. These seniors engage in weekly college advisory classes, part of College Summit’s systemic college access solution. Over the summer, the schools sent 20% of their rising seniors to a College Summit workshop at Fairfield University in Connecticut. There, they received a head start on the college application process, as well as peer leadership training. In addition, teachers and guidance counselors from each school attended a College Summit Educator’s Institute for training in the college advisory curriculum.
