College Week Nov. 14 - 18 at Southwest

MN College Application Week Nov 14-18

As part of a national initiative, Governor Mark Dayton will be proclaiming the week of November 14th-18th 2011, Minnesota College Application Week. The main goal of this initiative at the high school site is to increase the number of all students completing a college application with a special focus on first generation college goers (and also on underrepresented populations including students of color and low-income students) about the college application process and to highlight college and career readiness efforts occurring throughout the state.

SW is focusing on having every senior submit a college application. We are hosting College Application/Essay workshops in the CCC during the following times:

Nov 1st 2:30-4:00
§ Nov 7th 3:00-4:00
§ Nov 15th 2:30-4:00

Counselors are hosting “office hours” where they will be available to answer questions and work with students. Teachers will have discretion as to whether students can be released from class to meet with their counselor.
Tuesday, November 15, during 3rd hour:
Wednesday, November 16, during 6th hour
Counselors can be found in the following locations:
o Morseth (A-E) in CCC
o Sherwood (F-K) in Media
o Mountin (L-Q) in Media
o Kreisher (R-Z) in 40
