Admission Deans Provide Virtual College Night for Virginia

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND ─ Virginia high school students who want to learn more about the college admission process and financial aid can attend Virtual College Night for Virginia at 6 p.m. on May 27.

The virtual opportunity is the brainchild of admission deans from the University of Richmond, University of Virginia, Washington and Lee University, and William & Mary. The deans were batting around ideas on how to reach high school students during this time of social distancing. They recognized that many topics are important to potential college students. Rather than provide all of the information individually, they decided to join forces to create the Virtual College Night.

The pilot evening, which will be held via Zoom, will focus on central and south central Virginia. Students who have expressed interest in the four institutions will receive an invitation via email.

If the evening is successful, Virtual College Nights will be scheduled in other regions.

Admission deans will provide information on college search, application review and selection, financial aid, and trends in higher education.

The deans include:

• Sally Stone Richmond, Washington and Lee University
• Greg Roberts, University of Virginia
• Gil Villanueva, University of Richmond
• Tim Wolfe, William & Mary

They will cover the topics in about 40 minutes followed by a 20 minute Q&A.
