My school is looking to bring in a speaker to discuss college admissions and give us some pointers on how to best prepare for the process. Does anyone have any recommendations for a knowledgeable and engaging speaker on the topic? Thanks in advance!
I'd suggest reaching out to your local college admissions counselors, who can often provide valuable insight and guidance on the college admissions process. Many of them are well-versed in presenting to high school students at events and school assemblies. If you're looking for someone more well known, consider contacting admissions experts or authors with books on the topic, as they too can offer engaging and informative presentations.
Another option is to contact a nearby college or university to see if they have an outreach program or student ambassador program; these programs often have presenters who are experienced in speaking to high school audiences. Current college students who are part of these programs can share their own experiences and provide a relatable and motivational perspective on college admissions.
Your school counselor may also have connections or recommendations for speakers you can reach out to. Regardless of which route you take, be sure to check reviews and get a sense of their speaking style to ensure the speaker will be engaging and informative for your fellow students. Good luck in your search!
