2019 Puerto Rico Program
SEPTEMBER 9 TO 13, 2019
Join us for our 11th Annual Catholic Colleges Puerto Rico Recruitment Program! This is a wonderful opportunity for our member schools to meet students, families, and counselors as a collective group of Catholic colleges and universities.
MORE VISIT OPPORTUNITIES:
This year's program coordinators, Zuleyka Rios (Marquette University, WI) and Jose Ramos (St. John Fisher College, NY) are coordinating high school visits in the San Juan area. The visit schedule is being confirmed over the summer and will be posted here shortly. The visit schedule is subject to change. We will once again host a college fair, counselor dinner, and bilingual financial aid program during one evening of the week, and will also have hotel space available for college representatives to conduct interviews (informational or evaluative) with prospective students and their parents.
*Please note: Participation in each and every high school visit in Puerto Rico, the counselor dinner, and college fair is required of each admission representative. The promotion material sent to students, parents and counselors indicates that each participating college/university will be represented at every aspect of the program in Puerto Rico.
