Yesterday, UAlbany partnered with Albany Chief City Auditor and UAlbany alum, Dorcey Applyrs, on her Ready, Set, Goal initiative. The youth-focused career exploration program brought high school students from across the Capital Region to the campus for a full day of collegiate immersion. The agenda included tours of various campus facilities, workshops, dialogues with faculty, panel discussions with current college students, a trip to Broadview Arena to hang out with the Great Danes Division I Men's Basketball team, and of course, an extended lunch in the dining hall with copious amounts of ice cream.

It was a pleasure hosting these young scholars on campus and we wish them the best of luck as they continue on their respective educational paths through high school.
