The itinerary for high school students includes an admissions information session; a tour of the campus; an opportunity to view the posters and visit the graduate school exhibits; and a Q & A session with Concord biology students and faculty.
The Pre-Professional Day event is important for undergraduate students because it is an opportunity to present research, and also to meet with professional graduate program representatives in various areas of interest. High school students interested in a career in medicine, health, environmental science, or other science professions, or interested in attending college in general, would benefit by attending Pre-Professional Day.
