Event Summary: The junior high school students (about 90) arrived for a breakfast cooked by the brothers which was followed by a presentation by University Admissions. A session was held to explain how college was different from the students' current school which was led by an official from another local college. After the session, the students sat in on classes with brothers while taking notes and asking questions. Following the conclusion of class, the students were given campus tours, participated in a trivia game, and a panel discussion where topics such as academics, peer-pressure, friends, goals, and dreams were discussed. Finally, the students were given lunch at the campus dining where they engaged in conversation with the brothers.
