Guest Editors

We had 6 guest readers visit with Ilene (college advisor) and myself. Students worked in small groups and read aloud their personal statements. Everyone was given feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Monday's class is the last day to use computers in class to complete personal statements. Final drafts are due next Wednesday.
