Virtual Visit for Middle Schools:

The CUNY Explorers program at Medgar Evers College offers a remote, interactive virtual visit tailored to middle school students. Students, parents and teachers can experience and participate in the journey to college, facilitated by our knowledgeable CUNY Explorers Visit Guides. Our team will take you on an information packed tour of our campus using images, video and audio. Throughout the tour, we will discuss a range of essential, college-related subjects and college vocabulary that will prepare students for the road ahead. These discussions will touch on various topics including choosing and applying to high schools and colleges, how to pay for college, the benefits of a college education and how students can start preparing now. During the interactive visit students will also have the opportunity to learn about our college's namesake, civil rights leader Medgar Wiley Evers. The visit includes games and discussions for student engagement.

Telling Your Story & Resume Building Workshops for High Schools: 

The CUNY Explorers program at Medgar Evers College now offers remote, interactive high school workshops catered to 9th and 10th grade students. Our high school workshops seek to provide the building blocks needed to jumpstart their resumes and cover letters early on in their high school career. Students will be provided with the foundational information and tools needed to create their resumes and cover letters.
