Hello!

DRDFS is looking forward to seeing you this week at Oakland University! Prior to the event, I'd like you to think about your college list. What does your college list look like? Take a minute to review the college visit checklist below and be thinking about where Oakland University (our next campus visit on 11/4) may fall in terms of a "Reach, Match, or Safety" for you.

OU has it's own COVID screening process prior to being allowed on campus. Along with students, staff, and faculty, all visitors are required to complete a COVID-19 self-screening before entering campus. On the morning of your scheduled visit, you will receive a text from me with the screening link. If you do not receive my text, check-in with your adviser about getting the link from them on the bus. You will not be allowed on campus without completing this step.

As always, please feel welcome to reach out with questions/concerns.

NEW: OAKLAND UNIVERSITY CAMPUS VISIT - REMINDERS
We are looking forward to seeing you 11/4 at Oakland University! Just a few reminders prior to the trip:

  • Wear a DRDFS/Next Level Scholars t-shirt or hoodie

  • Wear a mask! Masks are required on the bus and inside any buildings on campus at OU.

  • Check-in with your adviser(s) for bus times!

  • Review the DRDFS COVID-19 Health Screening Tool before boarding the bus on Thursday. If you are not feeling well, have any COVID symptoms or have been in contact with anyone who has recently tested positive, we ask that you do not attend the field trip and instead wait for the virtual visit option.
ICYMI: COLLEGEBOARD'S CAMPUS VISIT CHECKLIST
Visiting a college campus helps you get a sense of what a college — and life at that college — is like. This can help you decide whether the college is right for you! Before we head to Oakland University next week, take some time to explore this Campus Visit Checklist from CollegeBoard. While some of these things we may not be able to accomplish on a quick visit, think about some of the questions you may have about campus or campus life at OU!
