March to College Day

ANNOUNCEMENT: The date for this year's March to College Day is Saturday, March 27, 2010! We will be having a KU football athlete come as our main speaker with other speakers as well!

March to College Day is an annual event that PACE hosts at the University of Kansas. We invite local K-12 students (usually targeting the older grade levels) to campus in an effort to educate them about college and the opportunities availabe to them at college. Our main goal is to get them pumped up and enthusiastic about the possibilities of higher education.

Last year's event was held on Saturday, March 8, 2009 from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm. The event was held in the Kansas Room on the 6th floor of the Kansas Union. There were two amazing guest speakers, some great raffle prizes, a student panel, and refreshments! We hope was a fun an educational experience for everyone!

All junior high and senior high students, parents, teachers, and administrators were encouraged to attend.

Last year's program for March to College Day was as follows:
1:00 pm - Welcome and Introductions
1:15 pm - Guest Speaker: "Getting Involved in College"
