Thanks to Ms. Washington's careful planning, the College Bound Initiative's incredible support, and our wonderful Seniors, we had a great trip to Stony Brook. The kids loved the school and asked some great questions at the info session and throughout the tour. When the admissions counselors asked who was going to apply to Stony Brook, every hand went right up. I was so proud! We were even fortunate enough to get to spend time with Crystal Hong, East-West '12, and a sophomore who looks and sounds just like me :)
We all trekked through campus in the sleet, saw a lecture hall, the library, the Student Activity Center, dorm room and ate lunch in a student dining facility. I think they really got the feel for a college experience. I asked some of them if they could see themselves walking around here next year, and they said absolutely!
Again, thank you Clarice and College Bound for making this happen! Thank you Ben, for bringing Clarice and College Bound to East-West!
