MHS sets College Planning Night for Seniors
Mundelein High School will host its annual College Planning Night for Seniors in a very different way this year. The event will take place remotely on Tuesday, Sept. 2 in Spanish at 6:30 p.m. and in English at 7:30 p.m.
College representatives from the University of Illinois will provide tips and advice about how seniors can make their applications the best they can be. “This information applies to any student who plans to attend any university,” said Andrea Rusk, college counselor at MHS.
Links to join the presentations will be available in the EVENTS calendar closer to the time of the event. The calendar can also be accessed on the CCRC Virtual College Counseling Classroom.
