College, Career Planning Program Kicks Off At Southold High School

SOUTHOLD, NY — A new program is set to kick off Tuesday night for students and families about perhaps the most important decision in a young person's life —their college education and future career.

"College and Career Planning — Let's Start the Conversation" will take place Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Southold High School.

"It is the first of a series of events designed to support the process of college and career planning. It is open to all families throughout the North Fork and Shelter Island," said Southold Schools Superintendent David Gamberg.

Sharon Brennan, former Dean of Admission at Sacred Heart University, will discuss the tools necessary for a successful outcome in the college search.

Topics discussed include "Higher Education and College Admissions: What Is The Real Story?", "The Campus Visit: The Most Important Part of the Process," "The Parent Trap: How to Support Your Student Without Taking Over," "Fiscal Considerations and College Debt," "Two Real Stories About the College Admissions Process," and "The Trap of National College Rankings."
