Kiara Lee, a senior who has been to a college representative meeting describes the representative as someone who was really nice and makes everything easy to understand by breaking the information down and who talked about the diversity the college they were from was as well as any issues regarding finances.

Remember to get a permission slip signed by the teacher whose class you are missing to visit the college representative. They’re located outside of room 359.
