Partner Institution: North Carolina Agricultural & Technical
State University
Activity: College Access Youth Summit
The Youth Summit for
College Access enabled a diverse group of students to share
experiences, build networks, and collaborate with their peers to explore
college access issues. Students created their own statement of
vision/purpose for the summit, and shared personal stories and engaged
in meaningful dialogue with one another and with practitioners who
helped them to better develop and implement successful college access
programs.
North Carolina A&T
University collaborated with the University of North Carolina Wilmington
(UNCW) and Cape Fear Community College to make this summit possible.
UNCW’s art department provided the students with an opportunity to
work on an individual metal sculpture and a collage to help the students
express what college access meant to them. Following the art project,
the students traveled to the Cape Fear Community College campus where
they used a studio to videotape and audiotape what worked well for them
and what did not worked well for them during the college access
program.
