January 24th Workshop by all accounts was a success. The workshop was dedicated to "College Life". The session was led by planning committee member and tour alumni, Kiyara Smith. A panel of 15 college graduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and Non-HBCU's made up the panel discussion. The panel was very honest regarding their college experience. Parents were not allowed to participate in this session. This allowed the students to ask uninhibited questions regarding:
- Maintaining Healthy relationships with Professors, Friends, and Family
- Money Management (Balancing your check book)
- Campus and Dorm Life
- Study Tips
The students were divided into groups with a panelist as the lead. This allowed for further conversation and discussion between the students and college graduates.
The parents held there own workshop led by Dr. Bob Lee, radio personality from 107.5 WBLS. Dr. Bob Lee drew from his own experience as a parent sending children to college. Parents mentioned how they understand or could relate to his experience.
Workshop #3 ended with Dr. Bob Lee encouraging the students about making the transition to college life and recording a NYC Omega Black College Tour Promo expected to be featured on the Steve Harvey Morning Show in the NYC metropolitan area, Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at 9:27am.
