Entrada students graduate Friday

On Friday, July 16, 2010, high school students from across the nation and around the world will graduate from Calvin's Entrada Scholars program.

Entrada, which is Spanish for "gateway," provides high school juniors and seniors of color an opportunity to have a total college experience. For the past four weeks the students have lived in the residence halls, eaten in the dining halls, taken a college course, and participated in a number of activities, all alongside college students.

At 11 a.m. on Friday, July 16, the students from 17 different states and four countries will walk across the stage of the Gezon Auditorium (located in the Spoelhof College Center) and receive their graduation certificates.

Now in its 24th year, Entrada has produced impressive results. 95 percent of students who have gone through the program and have completed high school go on to pursue some form of higher education.
