Discovering College Life at WICC: A 4-H Experience in the Classic City
WICC, held annually by 4-H at the University of Georgia, offers high school students a glimpse into college life. Participants engage in workshops covering time management, college applications, and preparation tips for their first day. The event includes guided campus tours and a college fair where students explore various institutions. As a group leader, I led my group, "Live Your Life," throughout the day’s activities, ensuring everyone enjoyed the experience. WICC fosters friendships and provides valuable insights for aspiring college students. Can't wait for next year!
