College Reps at McNeil

Aariz Anas, Reporter • December 9, 2024

Administration announced more college representatives will be visiting regularly to connect with students interested in higher education. Students can find the schedule of upcoming college visits by checking out the calendar linked on the school’s website. The visits take place in the College & Career Center, located in Office Suite 5 at the back of the cafeteria, from 11 a.m.M to 1 p.m..

Some notable visits coming up include representatives from The University of Austin on Monday, Dec. 9, and Texas A&M University-College Station on Wednesday, Dec. 11. Additionally, students will have the chance to meet with representatives from Yale University on Monday, Dec. 16. These events provide a unique chance for students to interact directly with college recruiters, get insight into different colleges, and learn more about what each institution has to offer.

“I’m not sure what I want to do, but I’ve got some sort of a plan,” junior Ryan Ward said. “I’m glad there’s people at school here to help me find my path.”

For those looking for more information on college applications and future career goals, the McNeil Counseling Department’s webpage is an excellent resource. Students can also reach out to Dr. Sonia Baker, McNeil’s Lead Counselor, with any additional questions they may have. Participating in these visits can help students make informed decisions about their educational paths.
