High school seniors-to-be jumpstarted their college searches with a fun and informative barbecue at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, NY.
Before digging in at a classic cookout, the students and their families toured the campus, led by student and alumni ambassadors. They visited residence halls and classrooms and were wowed by the college’s breathtaking views of the Hudson River.
By meeting with current Mount students, faculty, coaches, financial aid experts and admissions staff, students and their families learned about the diverse array of majors, courses and athletic opportunities offered by the college.
