As a reminder to all seniors who have signed up, the SUNY Orange Admission Day is on Wednesday, March 16th in the College and Career Center.  A couple of reminders:

• Bring your completed application with you on Wednesday.
• You do NOT need to bring any money.  The application fee is waived if you participate in the Admission Day.
• If you need another pass, please stop by.

Although this admission day is completely booked, if you are interested in SUNY Orange we will be having an additional admission day on May 5th.

Goals

The College and Career Center has begun a "Goals and Inspiration Board".  Students can stop by to fill out a puzzle piece with a goal or dream they have.

The goals can be short term (getting an "A" on your next math test) or long term (graduating from college, becoming a doctor, etc).
