Some afternoons are for workshops. These include: Time Management, Applying to College, Writing, and Selecting a College or University of Your Choice

*In the Time Management Workshop, taught by Sedric McClure, students learn how to set goals, budget their time, and apply those skills during the MACCESS Program.

*In the Applying to College Workshop, students learn how to research various colleges and universities and apply for financial aid.

*In the Writing Workshop, students learn skills for effective writing, including writing personal statements for college applications.

*In the Selecting a College or University of Your Choice Workshop, students learn how to identify at least three colleges or universities that match their interests, proven abilities, and preferences for geographic location.

These workshops are designed to supplement and complement the morning academic classes by providing students with skills and information necessary both to think, speak, write, and communicate effectively and to be successful at being accepted by a college or university of their choice.
