College Horizons, a program to prepare Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students to apply to college, wrapped up at Penn this week.
College Horizons is a college prep program for Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian high school students.
“It’s been amazing. I’ve never really had something like this and it’s just been really informative and I’ve learned so much. I’ve met people who are Navajo, I’ve met people who are Lumbee, and I met people who are Cherokee Nation,” Thompson said. “We’ve got students who come from the reservation, who know their language, their culture. We’ve got other students whose families moved to urban areas, to cities, to suburbs.”
Tina P. Fragoso, coordinator of Native American recruitment at Penn, said that even for someone like her, who has worked with College Horizons for years, bringing so many Native students together makes it “the best week of our lives.”
