ESCANABA — Bay College and the Delta County College Access Network are collaborating to offer high school seniors the opportunity to visit the Bay College campuses on Oct. 28.

Students beginning their day in Escanaba will be on campus from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST. Students beginning their day in Iron Mountain will be transported to Escanaba to see main campus as well, with a total time from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. CST.

Around 50 percent of area college-bound seniors choose Bay College. The event aims to prepare students for what to expect on their educational journey and offer added support and guidance as students make the transition from high school to college.

“Getting seniors on campus, familiarizing them with the college atmosphere, and assisting them in understanding the financial aspects of college should help to eliminate some stress associated with navigating college life,” said Kathy Becker, Delta County College Access Network director.

Attendees will hear from current and former Bay College students, admissions, financial aid, athletics, and transfer departments, tour the college, be served lunch, and meet with faculty from each student’s individual areas of academic interest.

“We are thrilled to have our incoming high school seniors on campus to start those meaningful conversations about their future at the college level,” said Jessica LaMarch, director of admissions at Bay College. “This is a chance for students to start engaging with Bay College faculty and understanding the pathway to their career choice.”

Pre-registration for this event is required. The deadline to RSVP is Monday, Oct. 24. High school senior students who have not yet registered to attend the event can contact Jessica LaMarch to reserve their spot at Jessica.LaMarch@baycollege.edu or 906-217-4086 or online by visiting: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RFXBWGN.
