I. Swarthmore Discovery Weekend: Soliciting Nominations
Discovery Weekend is designed to introduce the liberal arts at Swarthmore College (a top-notch liberal arts college in Pennsylvania) to academically talented senior students of color. The weekend includes a series of panels, introducing students to faculty and staff, while providing them with ah first-hand look at Swarthmore. Prospective students attend classes, stay with current students in the dorms, eat in the dining hall, and enjoy a candid view of campus life. To ensure that students from all socio-economic backgrounds are able to attend, the Office of Admissions will provide transportation by plane or train and will cover meals and lodging. This year’s Discovery Weekend is scheduled for September 27-29.

If you are interested in attending this program, please email me ASAP and I’ll be glad to submit your name to Swarthmore. The students I refer will be mailed an application to apply for the program. Please let me know if you have any questions.
