As the expectation grows for next Latino College Expo & Leadership Summitwhich will take place on Saturday, March 22, 2025, high school students, parents, tutors and counselors prepare for a day full of valuable opportunities. To guarantee a successful and enriching experience, attendees must strategically plan their day to make the most of both the Leadership Summit in the morning like the University Fair in the afternoon. Next, we offer you a complete verification list to help you navigate the event and take advantage of its full potential.
Prepare in advance:
Before the event, take the time to investigate the universities, schools and participating organizations. Family with your programs, admission requirements and any specific detail that may interest you. Create a list of questions to ask the representatives at the University Fair and make the most of this opportunity to obtain personalized information. «Remember to obtain your name and email, and send them a gratitude. This will help you highlight, demonstrating your gratitude for your time and shared information. “
Plan your schedule:
The day is divided into two main segments: the Leadership Summit in the morning and the University Fair in the afternoon. Plan your schedule accordingly, making sure to assign enough time for both parties. Prioritize the sessions and stands of the universities that you want to visit to make the most of your time at the Expo. Visit the stands of the institutions you investigated and participate in significant conversations with admissions officers. Be proactive when looking for information on programs, scholarships and application processes. “Making the previous preparation will be of great help and will demonstrate to the admissions officers that you are focused and committed to your future.”
Participate in the Leadership Summit:
The morning leadership summit offers a unique opportunity to obtain successful leaders’ perspectives in various fields. Attendees can expect inspiring talks, discussion panels and workshops. Actively participate by taking notes, asking questions during the questions and answers, and establishing contacts during breaks. Absorb the knowledge shared by these influential speakers to boost your own leadership potential. “A key to improving your interactions and making the most of these seminars is to be like a sponge: absorb knowledge and follow up with the presenters, since they are participants willing to share their wisdom.”
Carries essential materials:
Carry a notebook and a pen to write down important information and contacts. Do not forget to bring several copies of your curriculum, academic files or any other relevant document that is good to share during the university fair. Having these materials at hand will facilitate the process and show your preparation for university representatives. The first impressions matter. Dress in a professional and comfortable way for the day. You are likely to meet with university admissions officers during the event, so dressing properly demonstrates your commitment to cause positive impression. “The image matters and says a lot about your approach and commitment to the university process.”
Establish contacts effectively:
Take advantage of breaks and networking sessions during the leadership summit to connect with speakers, your fellow students and professionals. Exchange contact information, connect on social networks and build a network that can offer you guidance and support in your educational and professional career. ‘Fortune is in the follow -up. “
Ask informed questions:
Demonstrate your genuine interest in each university asking specific and informed questions. This not only helps you collect valuable information, but also leaves a positive impression on the representatives with whom you interact. Question about unique programs, 1 Life on campus and any opportunity specifically designed for your future professional interests and goals. “The preparation will always stand out before the admissions and speakers officers.”
Follow up after the event:
After a day full of information and contacts, take the time to follow up. Send emails of thanks to the speakers, professionals and university representatives with whom you connected during the Expo. Express your gratitude for your time and knowledge, and continue to build those relationships for future opportunities. This idea deserves to be repeated: “The key to success is in the follow -up.”
