About the event
Join Dr. Megan Brown, Dean of John Dee Bright College at Drake University, and Grace Wenzel, an experienced admission counselor, as they speak about the unique approach to associate degrees through John Dee Bright College. These programs were built to reduce barriers to an elite education and increase students’ opportunities for success and continued education.
They will also discuss the Bulldog Promise and Bright Pathway—100% tuition coverage programs for qualifying Iowa students. Most importantly, they will be your resource to help answer questions about the college search process. We encourage Littles to attend with their Big or a parent/guardian. This session is especially helpful for high school–aged Littles.
