Students on the AFOSMD College Tour get a vivid picture of college life by visiting a range of respected institutions. Through campus tours, classroom visits, and cultural immersion, they experience the feeling of being part of an academic community and can envision themselves as future college students.
Through tours, interactions with college representatives, and educational sessions, students are introduced to a variety of academic programs and career paths. They’ll learn about potential majors, professional opportunities, and available resources, equipping them with knowledge to make well-informed choices about their studies and career goals.
Throughout the tour, a team of dedicated mentors, alumni, and advisors provide valuable guidance and insights. Sharing personal experiences, offering practical advice, and discussing the impact of college on future goals, these mentors inspire students to reach higher and see what’s possible for their future.
Beyond college visits, students connect with peers and mentors, building a supportive network that often lasts beyond the tour. These relationships foster motivation, encouragement, and a sense of community, reinforcing students’ educational aspirations and helping them stay focused on their paths.
