Maddie Gruber ’23 talks about her college experience at CHS Alumni Day on Thursday.
Columbia High School seniors and juniors learned more about college from former classmates on Thursday as part of CHS Alumni Day. Graduates from the Class of 2023 returned to Columbia to share what they have learned through their first semesters of college.
The alumni, who attend colleges such as Clemson, Penn State, RIT and Siena, discussed the college selection process, academic programs, and campus life.
This event was sponsored by the Guidance Department.
“Alumni day provides current juniors and seniors with valuable insight and advice on transitioning to college life successfully,” said Columbia School Counselor Sophia Reynolds. “The diverse panel of our most recent graduates addresses numerous relevant topics including the college selection process, living with roommates, dorm life, and balancing coursework with extracurricular activities.”
