College Information
-
An admissions representative from the University of St. Francis will be at Scecina on March 10, 2015. Interested juniors and seniors should see Mr. Corn to sign up to attend.
- Wabash College will host its 43rd annual Opportunities to Learn About Business (OLAB) program. Every summer, about 60 boys and girls who will be entering their senior year in high school spend a week at Wabash College at an educational camp taught by college professors and Indiana business leaders. The Labbies do not pay a dime to attend (except for travel to and from Wabash) since philanthropic sponsors provide $1,000 scholarships. It's an outstanding educational opportunity for young people.
- The OLAB week (July 12-18, 2015) is demanding and challenging. Wabash is looking for high-quality, motivated students. Interest in business is NOT required. There are plenty of opportunities -- from making a TV commercial to giving speeches -- to learn creativity in running a business. Any current juniors interested, please visit www.wabash.edu/olab for more information and application forms. Applications must be received by April 22 for this year's program, which runs from July 12-18.
