Passion Project Workshop: Unique Strategies to Make a Difference & Stand Out in College Apps

Everyone knows that colleges are looking for “unique” students. But what does that mean? You know you’re different from others, but how do you get started exploring what makes you, you? In this workshop, we talk about the importance of a passion project not only as a unique admissions strategy, but as a means to make a real difference in your community. We give examples of students who have completed amazing projects, big and small, and we will workshop specific strategies to help you discover your deep interests, develop your skills, and reveal your ethical worldview. Sure, it’s about college applications, but it’s also about you.
