"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."-- Benjamin Franklin
Monday, was the UAlbany STEP Program's College Shadow Day. The event was created last year by assistant coordinator Felita Orr. Shadow day was a hit last year, and returned even stronger this year.
The purpose of shadow day is to give high school students a taste of college before they head there themselves. Shadow day integrates high school with college by allowing high school students to get a true college experience by being on a university campus.
The event was from 9am to 2pm and over 20 students came out to partake in Shadow day. High school students were paired up with University at Albany students, who are also our STEP tutors. The pairing was based on the student's interest and the major of the college student. Majority of the students went to two college level classes, and after the classes asked the college students questions about the college experience.
Highschool and college students walked away from the experience happy as can be, and have expressed interest at attending the next Shadow Day in November. To learn more about Shadow Day or to find out how you can get involve in it, stop by the STEP Club. We are located in room 325, Monday thru Thursday, from 3 to 5pm. If you can not make it to the club, hit us up at the c-section below.
To hear testimonials from the students and staff STAY TUNED!
