About College Preparation

The College Preparation program acts as a liaison between colleges and universities and the Salem-Keizer community. Along with organizing a districtwide college and career fair each fall, Program Specialist Cathy Tilley helps schools and teachers organize college and career fairs at schools, works with schools on college and career readiness activities like college visits for students, recruits guest speakers to talk with students about college, teaches classes in college preparation to staff and parents, and organizes parent training nights. 

Other projects the program helps with are Willamette University's WOU Project, The Salem-Area Chamber of Commerce's Ready to Work, Ready to Learn program, and Career Connections. Parents and students may also make appointments for individualized help with collge planning.
