September is here at Emory & Henry!

Wow, can you believe it's already almost mid-September? This year has been different in many ways and is flying by. We have all had to adjust to new circumstances on so many fronts. Parents, counselors, school contacts, students, faculty and staff have all completed amazing feats to guarantee rich educational experiences.

Congratulations on making it this far—you’ve earned it! #YOUCAN & more!

At Emory & Henry College, we also have been working hard—not only to prepare students for the world of work through a valuable and affordable education, but to ensure they adapt and thrive no matter what life throws their way. Here are just a few of the ways that students can interact and benefit from a connection with us.

What’s new at Emory & Henry?

  • Streamlined Admission Processes: We recognize that COVID-19 has presented many obstacles for families and schools. We now have some changes in our admissions processes to ease the transition into college. Admission has never been easier!
    • Test Score Optional: We have waived the application requirement for test scores (SAT or ACT).
    • Essay Requirement Waived: We are no longer requiring an essay as part of the application process.
    • NEW Merit Scholarships: $23,000 in scholarships are available for those with a 3.5 GPA and above—one of the highest in the ODAC and the largest academic merit scholarship to be offered in E&H History!
    • No Application Fee: The free application is open now for spring and fall enrollment. The earlier students apply, the better their benefits for preferred scholarships, class selection, housing and more.
    • Spring 2021 Enrollment: COVID-19 may have altered some students’ plans to enter college in the fall semester. We encourage Spring term enrollment and students can still enter this academic year. If you know students who would benefit from Spring term enrollment, please encourage them to apply to Emory & Henry College. We are ready to help students begin their academic and professional careers and to offer generous scholarships. There is no need to delay the start of their brighter future.
  • The van Vlissingen Center for Career and Professional Development: We are ready to meet students at the new career center and offering programming to ensure success. Read about our new director, Lee Svete, and upcoming programs.
  • Academic Year Begins with Focus on Inclusion:  As some students return to the campus of Emory & Henry College and most start their studies remotely due to the global pandemic, concerns for social justice, diversity, equity and inclusion remain at the forefront of dialogue on campus as well as in the country.
  • Virtual E&H Open House & Express Sessions, Sept. 19-25 or Oct. 10-16: Prospective high school students and their families are invited to learn about academic and student success resources, application process and timelines, financial aid options and more about Emory & Henry College. The week-long event offers mulitple express sessions. Attend one session and the student receives a t-shirt, or three or more sessions and be entered to win a grand prize! RSVP under Admissions Events.

The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is offering up-to-date information to students who are interested in the STEM/STEAM field.

To assist with this, USC has a number of new virtual events. These events will consist of admission information, faculty roundtables, and student hosted live chats. To register for these events, please go to viterbi.live/events. 

This year’s virtual program, held October 24-25, is designed for high school seniors of color as well as those who have championed diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at their school. We encourage you to invite your students to apply.

As you likely know, at Mount Holyoke, diversity is more than compositional. Our diversity and inclusion efforts focus on understanding our community’s multiple identities through the lens of social justice education, ally development, and identity exploration. We value the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexual orientation, ability, age, national origin, and religious/spiritual identities – not only in the classroom, but in co-curricular activities, and in interpersonal relationships. Here’s what a few of our current students have to say about Mount Holyoke:

“The community I found through the cultural centers has been my rock. MEChA has changed my life both as an activist and a person.” Kimberly Mota, New York, New York

“I am affiliated with the Betty Shabazz cultural center through my participation in the Association of Pan African Unity (APAU). This space has enriched my MHC experience by being a space where I can fully express myself and find support from other students of the African diaspora. It’s where I’ve been most comfortable and supported as a Black woman at Mount Holyoke.” Olivia Lucas, Oakland, CA 

“When I first came to Mount Holyoke during the Experience Diversity Weekend, I went to the open house for the Asian Center for Empowerment and met the Liga Filipina org. I met students who looked like me, came from similar backgrounds as me, were strong and independent, had something to say and weren’t afraid to say it.” Kalea Martin, Waddell, Arizona  


Eager to hear more student voices?

To learn more and to apply, visit our Focus on Diversity webpage. Please note that the deadline to apply is October 2, 2020.

The College Search - From Stress to SUCCESS
Finding the Perfect College and How to Pay for It!! with thousands of options available, deciding where to attend college can be a challenging task. However,...
Because Grinnell College cannot host overnight visitors, this year our "Grinnell Diversity Travel Opportunity" will instead be a virtual "Grinnell Diversity Preview Program." The preview program is a great way to discover your place at one of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges.  learn more about all of our virtual visit options

To minimize the amount of time in front of a screen in one sitting, the program will occur in three short sessions on three different days. Students and families may participate in one or all of the sessions:
  • Oct. 12, 4:30 – 5:45 p.m. (CDT)
    "What is Grinnell College, and why should I want to go there?"
    Learn about Grinnell from a couple of admission counselors and take a live virtual tour with current students!
     
  • Oct. 18, 2 – 3:15 p.m. (CDT)
    "How do students intellectually explore and engage at Grinnell College?"
    Hear about academic life from currently enrolled students and participate in a Q&A!
     
  • October 25, 2 – 3:15 p.m. (CDT)
    "Will I fit in? What’s it really like for diverse students at Grinnell?"
    Meet staff from Intercultural Affairs and hear from a panel of diverse currently enrolled students.
Have your students register for Grinnell's Diversity Preview Program!

To participate, students must be high school seniors, students of color (African American/Black, Asian, Latinx, or Native American) or the first in their family to attend college, and interested in a liberal arts education (arts and humanities, mathematics and sciences, and social sciences). While this program is primarily for domestic students, international students are welcome to participate.
