We are a cohort of undergraduate students at the University of Chicago dedicated to mentoring high school students throughout the Chicagoland area. As a Recognized Student Organization (RSO), we provide guidance and support to seniors as they navigate the college application process. Our mentorship program facilitates one-on-one meetings between high school students and current UChicago undergraduates, offering personalized support throughout the academic year. In addition to mentorship, we host our signature annual event, College Day, which invites local high school students to campus for a day of immersive programming and the opportunity to experience life on a college campus.
Examples of events for College Days include the following:
- Workshops on the Coalition Application and Essay Writing
- Financial Aid Session
- Model Lecture by a UChicago Professor
- Private Admissions Session
- Lunch at Campus Dining Hall
- Panel with current UChicago Students
- Campus Tour
