CABRILLO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TOUR LMU

LMU undergraduates give high schoolers an insider look into their campus 

It is important to give young students the opportunity to explore colleges and universities to cultivate their interest in pursuing higher education. On April 24th, PESA collaborated with a group of undergraduate students at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), to lead 50 Cabrillo High School students on a campus field trip. 


The day commenced with a guided tour of LMU, providing the high schoolers with a first-hand look at the campus and its many academic and extracurricular offerings. Cabrillo students saw the various buildings where they would attend lectures and explored the quad, a vibrant social hub.


Juliette Kashani, an LMU senior who led the tour stated, “I had a really great time giving a tour to the students. I remember how confused I was about the college process when I was their age, and how many questions I had at that time. So being able to introduce them to the college process and answer all their questions was very special to me, and I’m glad I was able to put their minds at ease.”

Students also heard from a panel of graduating seniors — Ilanna Morales, Kierstin Perkins, Sam Camper, Bailee Ojogho, Rachel Berookhim, Lily Horne, and Chris Wilson — about LMU’s campus culture, academic rigors, and work-life balance. The high schoolers actively engaged with the panelists by asking them thoughtful questions about a variety of topics, including time management and preparing for the job market.


Kashani mentioned that, “The best part for me was seeing how engaged they were during the campus tour and the panel, and how excited they were to be able to get their questions answered. It also really warmed my heart that while I was giving the tour, I heard a couple of students say that they would want to attend LMU when they are older.”


The day was filled with insightful and informational experiences for Cabirllo’s students. They left LMU feeling excited and more prepared about their future in higher education.
