Peer Leader Academy

There was a spirit of energy and enthusiasm as fifty five + College Summit S.C. Peer Leaders landed on the Midlands Technical College Airport campus for t heir annual Peer Leader Academy. During the event, Peer Leaders began working on a video testimonial that will document their journey through the year- long college admissions process. Students worked with members of the University of S.C.Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi Business Fraternity Inc. to create resumes to give them a competitive edge in the job market. Peer Leaders were also given the opportunity to create their own unique FAFSA PINs (personal identification numbers).

Educators also participated in various sessions created to assist them with implementation of the College Summit Program within their respective schools. One of these sessions focused on how to help  students in completing the FAFSA. Numerous resources were presented in both digital and print form. Time was allotted for Peer Leaders and educators to plan activities for the second semester and to implement a process to track the students FAFSA completions.

This event was successful thanks to the contributions of College Summit  alumni  Kaneisha Wheelock, Janesia Glover, Jonathon Gilyard, Tabaris Smith, Vincent Pendarvis, Kendra Yates, Jamita Brown, Celeita McCoy, Ashley Sanders, Tymon Graham and  DiMarcus Washington; our regional RAP Directors Anthony “6-2” Irick  and David (D.C.)
