Early Outreach Coordinator

Flex Your Independence Responsibly

For most students, going to college is your first taste of freedom!!

I get it – was totally there myself back in the day. But first, let’s just cool our jets and be real.

Yes, you are going to be able to sleep in till noon, stay up until 4 a.m., eat whatever you want, do your own laundry..or not! You’re in charge - BUT - you have to take care of yourself, get to classes, study, and stay out of trouble.

What is an Early Outreach Coordinator? 
Alex works primarily with increasing the college-going rate of underrepresented student populations in Marion County, Indiana, with a special focus on African American students. She counsels students in various grades from middle school to high school, helping them and their families understand and prepare for the college search and selection process with special events and presentations designed to make the process easier.
