Genesis Invitational #4 2024
| Description: |
** HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS & SENIORS ONLY ** **Specifically for students of color, women, and first generation college students** The Genesis Invitational is a two-day/overnight program for HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS & SENIORS and their parents or guardians. Our focus during Genesis is on the needs and interests of students of color, women, and first generation college students. Because space in this program is limited, you are guaranteed direct interaction with cadets, faculty, coaches, staff, and graduates. Students will be able to shadow a cadet, attend classes and a team practice, meet with cadet and officer panelists, eat in the cadet wardroom, and experience first-hand what it's like to be a cadet - all while learning how to make a seamless transition to college life and exploring the many opportunities available at the Academy and within the Coast Guard. Students will also have the opportunity to complete an optional Physical Fitness Exam (PFE). By the end of this experience, students will be well prepared to make a decision to apply and potentially attend the Academy if offered an appointment. At this time, students attending the program will be housed overnight on campus in Chase Hall. Programming and information for parents will also be provided throughout the day including, but not limited to, informational presentations, meal(s) with Admissions Staff, and a Cadet-led campus tour. Parent participation is optional, and any attending parents/guests will need to make their own overnight arrangements if attending both days of the program. Please note that each student is only authorized to bring a maximum of TWO guests. |
