Visiting your possible future home for your next educational journey is an exciting time as you consider where to apply for your collegiate career. However, because of campus closures, we have shifted our college tours to a virtual platform. Join us throughout the day on November 20th on social media and webinar, to learn more about WSSU! Throughout the day we will post new Instagram stories covering a variety of topics on college life at WSSU. We will also host a Live College Panel where you will have the opportunity to ask your specific questions to current college students.
We know that nothing can replace the experience of physically touring a college campus, but we do hope we can help you connect with a variety of schools throughout this year through a virtual platform. Email us at seniorprogram@crosbyscholars.org if you have any questions.

Every day, whether we want to or not, most of us contribute to a growing portrait of who we are online; a portrait that is probably more public than most of us assume. So no matter what you do online, it’s important that you know what kind of trail you’re leaving, and what the possible effects can be. Your digital footprint is not only formed by what you post, but also what others put online about you. During this academy we will discuss ways that you can manage your digital footprint to make the best impression online.
