Student Town Hall
Meeting
At last years
conference in Cleveland, Ohio alumni, students and educators met to discuss the
transition from high school to college and college life. This year we will
continue this very productive student town hall meeting.
The panel will cover a variety of topics including but not limited to
fraternities and sororities, financial aid, housing, class selection, study
skills and social activities.
Granville Academy National
Information Session
This session is designed to
explain the basic components of the Granville Educational Model. The founder of
Granville Academy, William Granville, will explain why he started the Academy,
and answer questions about the program. Attendees
will include affiliate staff, parents, board members, and invited guests.
Alumni Meeting
Hundreds of students have
graduated from Granville Academy since its inception in 1983. With many
graduates firmly established in their professional careers, we are poised to
develop this valuable resource. This event will
kick off the membership drive and provide alumni a venue to extend their
Granville experience through networking, mentoring, resource- sharing and other
exchange opportunities. All Granville alumni in the Baltimore- Washington area
are invited to attend.
