ASPIRA Early College
High School Visits the
University of Wisconsin
On March 19th, 2010 fourteen students from ASPIRA Early College
High School traveled to Madison, Wisconsin for a college visit to the
University of Wisconsin. AEC students were greeted by college students in the
morning, listened to and participated in a student panel, learned pertinent
information about the admissions process to the university, and heard from
various University of Wisconsin staff about financial aid and scholarships. One
of the most exciting parts of the trip was when AEC students were broken up
into groups with other high school students from Chicago and Milwaukee to tour
the campus, viewing lecture halls, dorm rooms, and academic buildings. After
spending the day in Madison, the juniors from AEC were able to articulate the
importance of their hard work in school, their involvement in extracurricular
activities, and realized college is just within their reach.
