Summer college tour to San Jose State University

One of our goals in First Graduate® is to inspire and motivate our students to go to college. On June 22nd, 2022, we had the opportunity to do just that, and our FG high school students toured San Jose State University’s campus, talked to admission staff in order to better understand college life, and observe a teacher conducting a class. Additionally, they enjoyed a nice trip to Great America to celebrate their great efforts after a very challenging second school year of the pandemia.

This was the first time our students visited a college since the beginning of the pandemic, and we look forward to more visits like this – only possible with the support of our donors and supporters.
