Your Virtual Community

Whether online or in-person, you can take advantage of these virtual Brown Pre-College social and educational programs.

Experiences outside of the classroom are a vital part of Brown Pre-College Programs. Through these activities—both educational and social—you’ll strengthen your connection to a robust community of peers from around the world while developing personal and social skills critical to success in the college setting.

With a variety of virtual events offered each week you’ll find the topics that fit you best.

Interactive Webinars

Attend one or more of these weekly webinars that focus on topics essential to college admissions selection, application and preparation. Past webinar topics have included:

  • college fit
  • writing a college essay
  • ACT/SAT prep
  • financial aid

You’ll learn from expert presenters and have the opportunities to engage in live Q&A.

Mentor Groups

Mentor groups meet 2-3 times each week through Zoom and are facilitated by an undergraduate student. In these groups, you’ll interact with the same set group of peers and participate in interactive activities designed to help you reflect on your transition to college. Through these activities, you’ll develop meaningful relationships with a diverse group of peers and prepare for a successful start to your college experience.

Social Events

Get to know more of your peers in a relaxed setting through fun and interactive activities like games and trivia nights. Social events are offered multiple times each week.

Undergraduate Student Panels

Attend live Q&A sessions with undergraduate students representing various backgrounds and experiences. What is it like to be a student athlete? Why do students participate in Fraternity/Sorority Life? How do students select and declare a major? Tune into these panels to learn the answers to all these questions and more.

Virtual Writing Support

If you are looking for support in writing a paper for a course or editing your college application essays, free Writing Center consultations are available to all Pre-College students. You’ll be paired with a Writing Associate to work on writing at any stage. Writing Associates are friendly Brown graduate students who are trained to make suggestions that will help you in formulating, clarifying and elaborating on your ideas.
