Academic Angle

It appears the pandemic put our social media posts on ice! Since the last post in November 2019, we've visited dozens of campuses, and it's about time we caught up!

Here's a throwback to visiting in December 2019 - If you seek a top-notch STEM education mixed with southern charm - Clemson might be the right college for you. Particularly interesting is the UPIC Co-Op program, where students learn & work with faculty to help prepare them for their future careers. One of my favorite visits to date!

One of my last Pre-COVID visits was to in late February, 2020. How many other colleges can say they have an airport (with a fleet of their own planes) in the middle of campus?? Adjacent to the Daytona Speedway, this college is chock full of STEM students ready to get a focused, hands-on, technical education. Almost everyone is doing some sort of research, and all classes are taught by professors, many of which live on campus in the residential villages. Our tour guide was studying to become a pilot for UPS or FEDEX - how cool is that!?!?! If the weather is good when you visit, you might even be offered a chance to go up on a flight! 🛩.
