Pre-collegiate program in spotlight at Advocates forum

The University of Colorado’s Pre-Collegiate Program, the most successful college prep program in the state for high school students, is the focus of an educational forum for CU Advocates. Registration remains open for the free event, which is set for 7:30 a.m. Friday at St. Cajetan’s Center at CU Denver on the Auraria Campus.

Registration and continental breakfast runs from 7:30 to 8 a.m., followed by the one-hour program. Attendees will hear from the campuses’ pre-collegiate directors of the program, in which 97 percent of participants go on to post-secondary education.

Among the guests at the forum, presented by the CU Advocates program and the Office of the President, will be state Sen. Pat Steadman and pre-collegiate students and their parents.
