Positive Directions Visits Holy Cross – Jewel White (Community Partner Guest Blog Post)

Positive Directions, a program that works to assist 9th graders in achieving success in their first year of high school and beyond, came for a campus visit of Holy Cross during our summer program to expose our students to college campuses early on in their high school careers. Partnering with Holy Cross has been a great experience for our students. Having tutors who are freshman in college working with our freshman in high school makes a great relationship. Freshman year in both high school and college is a huge transition and I am glad to have the holy cross students  be there to help my students. We have been visiting Holy cross for the past three years. The students really enjoy visiting the campus, especially Kimball. We look forward to continue visiting Holy Cross. In the future we are planning to not only attend basketball games but football as well. We also look forward to having the tutors year round and building those positive connections.
