Senior Postsecondary Day Reaches Over 1,300 Students!

More than 25 universities, colleges, and organizations joined Alignment and School District U-46 for the Senior Virtual Postsecondary Day on October 15. Reaching the largest number of seniors to date, 1,342 students were exposed to a multitude of college and career pathways.

As they met with admissions counselors and visiting faculty, students were able to gain valuable guidance as they envisioned the next steps in their academic and professional endeavors. Specialized sessions also provided students vital tools and resources through college essay tutoring and financial literacy discussions for FAFSA preparation and personal finance. From learning about different apprenticeship and technical programs at Elgin Community College, to exploring military service opportunities, to hearing from U-46 alumni share their personal postsecondary experiences at various institutions, there was something for every student to feel empowered in pursuing their postsecondary plans.

Thank you to the following colleges, universities, and organizations for partnering with Alignment and U-46 to offer the Senior Postsecondary Day:

Thank you to all the volunteers from these organizations who made this event a huge success, as well as to our Alignment partners from the U-46 Postsecondary Success Team, and Northern Kane County Region 110, who facilitated 16 different sessions for students.
