Every year the Pathway to the Baccalaureate Program at NOVA has a Kick Off to College event for the new cohort of students held at George Mason University. This year the event is being held on Saturday, February 27, 2016. Last year there was a Resource Fair in the lobby of Dewberry Hall that was very popular, and College Steps returning this year to again host a table representing College Steps.

The morning Resource Fair will open at 9:30 and end at 12:30. The afternoon Resource Fair will open at 1:30 and end at 4:30.
About Pathway to the Baccalaureate
Pathway to the Baccalaureate is a consortium of 10 educational institutions in Northern Virginia -- K-12 public school systems, Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) and George Mason University – who have joined forces to provide a seamless web of support to selected students as they pursue a four-year college degree, beginning with the transition from high school, through NOVA, to George Mason or another university. Pathway has emerged as an award-winning program model that has demonstrated remarkable outcomes in college readiness, access, success and completion.
