Tuscarora High School will be hosting the 6th Annual Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU) Showcase. This event is designed to expose our school community to the many options that are available at HBCUs.

There are over 30 HBCUs committed to the 6th Annual HBCU Showcase.
For more information visit our event page: https://sites.google.com/lcps.org/thshbcu
In addition to the HBCUs that will be in attendance, there will be a guest speaker, NCAA presentation, and community scholarships. We will be offering this in a virtual format.

The guide helps people explore careers where they can make a positive difference in the lives of children. Our guide highlights 15 careers in fields ranging from early childhood education to occupational therapy and child social services. It also features an insightful interview with a child counselor and registered play therapist that gives readers a real-world look at what it's like to work with children, including both the rewards and challenges.

As your students are exploring colleges, I offer the following resources for any students and families looking to learn more about Columbia.

Columbia University
As with our fall 2020 courses, the spring 2021 semester is designed as 10-week remote instruction held on Saturdays and Sundays in the morning and afternoon. Taught by our Columbia instructors in real-time, courses cover disciplines from the arts to finance to physical and social sciences to technology. A rich array of co-curricular activities is offered daily before morning classes and during the break between morning and afternoon classes. We’re very pleased that many students currently taking the Program have told us that they plan to continue in the spring. They’ve shared that their peer-to-peer experiences have been particularly engaging and that they are learning from each other as well as their instructors.

George Mason University
Our Admissions staff will not be traveling to any high schools or college fairs in person as we are joining in on the effort to help slow the spread of coronavirus. Due to that, we are hosting Virtual Information Sessions and 1-on-1 appointments every week for your students to sign up and meet with our staff, and learn about the application process and life as a Mason student. Your students can also visit our Virtual Campus Experience website. It contains a wealth of knowledge regarding student life, campus tours, info sessions, and more.
Our institution has offered a Score Optional policy for many years because we believe that a student's ability to be successful in college is not necessarily reflected in the performance on standardized tests. Score Optional Consideration provides an opportunity for your students to be considered for admission without submitting standardized test scores. For more information on our Score Optional policy, click HERE or your student can reach out to their Admissions Counselor.
This fall we are hosting a variety of Admissions Virtual Events for both juniors and seniors to assist them in their college search. While we are disappointed we can't have you and your students visit our beautiful campus community, your students will have the unique opportunity to register for webinars and live-streamed events on our Fall 2020 Admissions Events website.
James Madison University
Throughout October, we have a jam-packed schedule of virtual presentations designed to help you learn more about JMU. The Madison Experience awaits you. Prepare to be surprised.

The ongoing threats related to COVID-19 have prompted us to not host any in-person information sessions, tours or events. Though we’re disappointed that we will not be able to meet with you and your students in-person this fall, we have scheduled a number of virtual opportunities to connect with you and your students. You can also tour our Monroe Park Campus and residence halls from the comfort of your home.

The week will be filled with opportunities for your students to learn more about the university, take a virtual campus tour, learn more about the Honors College, hear about the financial aid process and more!
