Each fall and spring representatives from public and private colleges and universities visit Lincoln-Way High School to talk with juniors and seniors. Calendars of the scheduled visits are posted in the PPS office, on the college bulletin boards, and are also announced in the daily announcements and posted on the PPS web site. Juniors and seniors need to register in the guidance office to meet with the representatives one day in advance with classroom teacher approval.
New for the 2020-21 School Year:
Due to Covid-19, the college reps will not be meeting in person with our students this Fall. Instead, the reps are offering virtual meetings. All virtual meetings will be held in the evening. All juniors, seniors and their parents are welcome to attend.
Below is the list of colleges that have scheduled a virtual meeting. If the link provided is for sign-up, please do so in advance so the rep can forward you a meeting link. In most cases, the rep is supplying a direct link to his/her meeting for that day/time. For issues getting onto the meeting, please contact the college rep directly. The contact email and name is provided below. This website is constantly updated as new meetings are scheduled, please check back regularly. In addition, students are encouraged to go directly to the college website to see the additional opportunities that may be available.
