GSC Event: "Conquering College"

The Gemstone Program is pleased to announce a brand new program exclusively for Gemstone students called Conquering College!

Conquering College was held on March 1, 2008 and was organized by the Gemstone Student Council. This event is a new twist on the “Game of Life” event, giving students the chance to learn from their upper-class peers! Over 90 Gemstone students attended the event to learn from a panel of 17 exceptional juniors and seniors.

This program offered both current and prospective Gemstone students a unique educational experience, utilizing select representatives from the Gemstone student community. Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to communicate with the upperclass students, asking questions on how to capitalize on and communicate the Gemstone experience in interviews and jobs, how to apply for internships and co-ops, and how to make the most of their college experience.

We believe that there is no one who can answer these types of questions better than those Gemstone students who have already been through it and are getting ready to embark on their own careers and life after college.

Look for more information about next years event later this fall!
