We’re back!
We’re very excited to announce that Exploring College is back on Tumblr and Twitter @ecvcuei. We’ll be posting throughout the year about our events, field trips, and useful information that we want to share.
Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter to stay up-to-date with all EC activities and events throughout the year!

A snapshot behind the scenes of the first EC SAT Tutoring session of the year!
This past weekend many of our EC scholars took their SAT Diagnostics. Test Prep season has begun!
This past Wednesday we hosted a Junior/Senior workshop open to both our scholars and their parents about the College Application process.
Today our Exploring College mentors attended an enrichment session that emphasized working across identity difference such as race and class to develop trust among their EC peers and mentees.
We are currently accepting applications for Vassar College students interested in mentoring/tutoring a high school student.
Deadline is September 15!
