🎓🐪 AVID in Action at Campbell University
Today our 8th Grade AVID students stepped onto a college campus and experienced what the future can look like. From a guided campus tour, to an Admissions presentation and Q&A, to seeing (and tasting!) college life in the dining hall, students were fully engaged from start to finish.
Walking through Buies Creek, standing by the Camel, sitting in real lecture spaces, and asking thoughtful questions made one thing clear: college is no longer an abstract idea—it’s a real, reachable goal.
Huge thanks to the Campbell Admissions team and Dining Services for an outstanding experience, and to our chaperones for helping make the day run smoothly. This is exactly what college and career readiness looks like—exposure, expectations, and inspiration.
💜💛 AVID strong. Futures loading. 🎓
