The Counseling Office is sponsoring a field trip on Tuesday, February 10th.
Students are invited to tour McDaniel College and Gettysburg College, two top liberal arts institutions located less than 2 hours away from Mercersburg, PA!
Students will have the opportunity to attend tours and information sessions at both institutions. Our regional representative (aka the admissions counselor who would read your application) will be on hand to answer your questions about the colleges.
Students will also get a free lunch at the Gettysburg dining hall. Gettysburg is a TOP RANKED dining hall - so you know the meal will be tasty!
The trip is FREE and open to interested sophomores and juniors.
Students must have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA to attend.
If interested in attending, stop by the Counseling Office to pick up a permission slip packet.
