Crosby Senior Summer Newsletter
Class of 2021
Senior Year Is Right Around The Corner!
Crosby Scholars will host all academies through the Zoom platform this year, unless otherwise notified. We will also offer monthly check-in opportunities with your Crosby Outreach Specialist each month starting in September. Each senior has been paired with a senior advisor. Be looking forward to receiving an email from them soon.
The Community Service requirement remains fluid due to social distancing restrictions. We are working diligently to provide safe and/or virtual service opportunities. We will notify you of those plans when they are made available.
If you have any questions, contact Eric Brooks at ebrooks@crosbyscholarsrowan
We look forward to working with you all this year!
