On Thursday, March 28th, representatives from 41 colleges from around the country set up tables in the courtyard to engage and inform students. Assistant Director of National Admissions at Texas A&M Juwan Andrews [left] spoke with hundreds of students throughout the lunches, including sophomores Natasha Davis and Azariah Mccall [right]. "To see all of these colleges here that are in-state, out-of-state, private, and public is super empowering to students, especially those who don't have a lot of access to college information," Andrews said. "College fairs provide the thought for a lot of students that they can actually pursue higher education, because if you don't see it, you don't believe it."
Sierra Pape is a junior and this is her third year on the Southerner staff. When she is not writing, you will find her running for the Midtown cross country team, working for Midtown Votes and political organizations outside of school, and singing and playing the guitar. She is excited to contribute to the paper for years to come.
This is Ella's first year on the Southerner and at Midtown.
