2015 College Readiness Bootcamp

Posted on October 02, 2015

On September 26th, the Asian Community Development Council and OCA Las Vegas hosted the 2015 College Readiness Bootcamp at UNLV. A one day bootcamp featuring several workshops and amazing speakers that gave guidance for high school students on how to prepare for college. Some workshop topics that were selected for this year were not ordinary information that high school students would have known about getting ready to select the college they want to attend. Over 100 students and parents registered online to attend this event.

Students had opportunities to attend various workshops. Each workshop had a panel of experienced individuals who have had a variety of experience. This year’s selection of bootcamp topics were:

How can I afford college
How to get recruited as a student athlete
College recruitment & selection for fine/performing artists
How to be a STEM major & Potential Career Pathways
Why majoring in humanities can lead you to a satisfying career
How important are standardized tests
Writing the college essay
How public speaking skills can shape your future

Lunch for the bootcamp was sponsored by Panda Express.
