OLLU-Houston will introduce area high school students to the university during its inaugural “Passport to Your Future” Girls Conference on March 21.
The free conference targets high school juniors and seniors. The conference includes an opening session with university greetings, concurrent workshops, and a luncheon.
Conference attendees will engage in a series of workshops related to the arts, business, healthcare, law, leadership, psychology, technology, and college-career readiness.
“The junior and senior years of high school are critical as students are making decisions about life after high school,” said Jamina Scippio-McFadden, Executive Director of OLLU-Houston. “Passport to Your Future allows us to expose them to career pathways—all of which we offer in our academic portfolio—and hopefully expands their awareness of what is available to them.”
OLLU-Houston is partnering with faculty, alumni, and community organizations to deliver the content and with other university departments to host the event.
External collaborators include the Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce, MD Anderson Leadership Institute, Spring ISD, TDECU, and Vertical Web. The internal partners are the Office of Admissions, Office Alumni Affairs & Family Relations, Department of Computer Information Systems & Security, Department of Psychology, and Zschool.
