CC Winn High School's class of 2018 is ready and rearing to start their senior year!
With
application season and FAFSA right around the corner, it was only fitting for the Mavs to
start visiting colleges and give their seniors a head start.
On June 6th, a group of Maverick Seniors embarked
on an exciting college trip!
The focus
of the trip was to show students the different options in universities, public
and private, along with hands on experiences.
The trip began at 2:00 am on June 6 traveling to the
University of Texas at Arlington.
Students enjoyed a walking tour, where they got the chance to see innovation at its best
with the Arts & Engineering Buildings and Smart Hospital. The Smart Hospital is fully
equipped as an emergency room that provides hands on instruction to students in
their nursing program.
Later that same afternoon, the college of Engineering at the University of North Texas was
visited. Students were able to observe
all engineering classrooms along with special programs and projects UNT is
involved in.
On Day two, Baylor University instructed the Mavericks on
admission requirements and of course, provided a tour of their beautiful and historical campus. Students learned about
tradition, academics, and way of life at Baylor University.
The Baylor tour was followed by a trip to the Dr. Pepper Museum. Dr. Pepper was first
manufactured in the city of Waco in 1885.
This unique experience was also a learning experience both in History and
Science as the students had the opportunity to create their own soda
drink. At the end of the day stumbling
upon the Magnolia Market was such a treat for all!
Day three, the students visited the Holocaust Museum. The group's Docent was a
very knowledgeable individual who provided the students with an emotional and moving experience.
The last stop was the “Power
House”, University of Houston.
Students learned about their admission requirements, scholarship
opportunities, COA, and the opportunity to see a hotel on campus.
Overall, this trip was such an overwhelmingly positive academic experience for the Mavericks! In just 3
days. Winn visited 4 campuses, 2
museums, and the Magnolia Market!
A special thank you to Winn's College Advisor, Maria Luisa Uriegas, for planning and executing a truly outstanding and educational trip!
Go Mavericks!
