You Are Invited!!!

We are very excited to announce registration for the Maximizing Educational Development through Academic & Leadership Skills (MEDALS) Conference is underway and you are invited! MEDALS is a two-day program that brings 10th- 12th grade high school students from across the state to Texas A&M University for an exciting and informative weekend on November 21-22nd, 2014.

 

What MEDALS Hopes To Accomplish

Approaching the completion of high school is an exciting time often filled with questions about the future. We hope you will let us help answer some of those questions. During our two-day program, students are placed into peer groups of eight to ten high school students and experience topics such as college life transitions, higher education opportunities, college admissions process, college life and paying for college. Peer groups allow participants time to discuss the college admission process, and gain insight into the transition from high school to college.
