As high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors begin the adventure of finding the right college, we invite students and their families to this open house event. You'll learn tips and techniques for navigating the college application process from our own admissions experts. We also welcome high school seniors who are planning to transfer later from a community college.

Get the inside scoop at workshops on:
  • Completing college applications
  • Writing your personal statement
  • Standing out in admission interviews
  • Planning ahead to finance your education
You'll also enjoy a tour of our beautiful campus, led by a current Mills student.
