Due to canceled spring break trips amid the coronavirus outbreak, WiSH and CollegeClick have organized free, virtual college tours and information sessions.
The alternative is expected to offer students access to college and university representatives, financial planners, student panels and college counselors, according to a WiSH news release.
Sessions are scheduled to take place Monday, April 6, through Friday, April 10. Students and parents are encouraged to join in during the sessions that interest them via the Zoom link of the day.
Attendees should sign in early and follow the instructions for download or use the password “college” to join as a guest, the news release said.
