For the past 9 years C.C. Winn High School has hosted an annual student panel. College Advisor, Maria Uriegas, invites Winn alumni to come visit and provide information about their college experience to the campus' current seniors.
Networking is the key to continuing success in college and having the alumni come to share their experiences is the first step in introducing current seniors to this concept. The former Mavericks have been able to pass on their information to the current seniors and it is a great chance for themselves to learn from other members of the panel of different opportunities and programs they have encountered at their universities. It is always important for any student to know, former or current, that opportunities come in many different forms. Whether it's a club or organization, an internship, or study abroad, if opportunity is there you reach for it!
By providing their personal college perspective they are empowering the next generation of seniors who are about to embark on a college journey of their own.
C.C. Winn is extremely proud of their CCWHS alumni, because they are making a difference!
