The Society of Women Engineers at the University of Virginia invites high school sophomores, juniors and seniors to apply to our High School Visitation program on Saturday, November 17th, 2018. The program gives young women a comprehensive look at the different engineering fields and UVA’s engineering curriculum through informative speakers, panels, lab tours, and hands-on design activities. The program is designed to benefit participants with all levels of engineering experience, but we particularly target those students who are not yet familiar with the field and may be interested in applying to engineering schools or pursuing a STEM career.

To apply, students should complete the HSV Fall 2018 Application which can be found on the UVA SWE Website (https://www.virginiaswe.org/hsv). This fall session particularly targets high school seniors, but sophomores and juniors can also apply. Students who have previously applied to HSV, are in the targeted grade level, and demonstrate a strong interest in engineering through their essay will receive priority acceptance and priority consideration for an overnight stay at UVA hosted by a SWE member.

The attached flier and information sheet provide more information about the event and instructions on how to apply online through our website.

The application must be completed online by 11:59 pm on Saturday, October 22nd, 2018.

Juniors and Seniors,

Be sure to click the “College Reps @ CHS” tab above to view the list of college representatives who are scheduled to visit CHS.  You will find a link that allows you to sign up for these visits – they are a great opportunity to hear about schools you are interested in attending, and to ask questions that may have come up as a result of conversations with your counselor.

Attention students:

The September edition of the CHS School Counseling Newsletter is now available.

You can view this and past issues by clicking the Newsletters tab above.  Take a look for information on colleges, scholarships, careers, and upcoming events at CHS.  As always, see you school counselor if you have any questions.

Seniors,

The Senior Profile is now available in an electronic format.  This document is very helpful to counselors, teachers, and others who may need to write a letter of recommendation on your behalf.  Keep in mind that filling out the Senior Profile does NOT automatically mean that a letter will be written for you – you must meet with your counselor to make those requests, and requests must be made at least two weeks prior to the deadline.  Click the link below, or the permanent link above.
