Student panel a key ingredient at IVCC open houses

A student panel sharing first-hand experiences was well received at Explore IVCC open houses.

The July 17 summer edition featured panelists Emelina Coss, Jennifer Cortes, Daniel Sack, Keira Kierznowski, Adam Brown and Yair Santiago.

In addition to exploring programs and touring campus, prospective students heard the panel – many of whom are first-generation college students – describe the campus resources that help them succeed and how being active in clubs and organizations strengthens their sense of connection. Next month, the college has a special welcome planned for new students.

At the Fall Preview on Wednesday, Aug. 14, students can familiarize themselves with campus before classes start Aug. 15. Students can locate classrooms, learn about campus resources and enjoy snacks and giveaways.
