Bridges to College
offers College Night
(GREENVILLE) – Bridges to College is offering “College Night” at 7 p.m.
Monday, Sept. 30, at St. Clair Memorial Hall.
“This free program will cover topics from the ACT to paying for
college,” said Beth Sears, executive director of Bridges to College.
“This program is designed for high school students and their parents.”
Some of the topics addressed during College Night will include the
college selection process, the college search timeline,
placement/assessment testing, admissions and financial aid,
affordability, and tips for student success. A question and answer
period will follow the presentation.
“If a student is considering college, I encourage the student and his
or her parents to attend this program,” Sears said.
Bridges to College board member Chris Seger will be the presenter.
Seger brings more than 15 years of college admissions and financial aid
experience to the presentation. Before accepting her job as Director of
Admissions for Ivy Tech Community College in Richmond, Seger worked in
financial aid at three colleges, most recently the Ohio State
University. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from
Wright State University and her Doctorate from the University of
Missouri - St. Louis.
“Chris is very knowledgeable about both college admissions and
financial aid,” Sears said. “She also can provide information about
options to make college more affordable.”
Bridges to College helps students and their parents make educational
plans after high school. This could mean going to a community college,
a four-year university, or technical school.
Bridges to College is a non-profit organization that formed in 2006. It
helps more students go to college through educational programming such
as College Night, one-on-one mentoring of high school juniors and
seniors, and need-based scholarships. For more information, contact
