Please join us at our first annual giving celebration! The College
Simulation Experience strives to alleviate poverty and prepare youth
for our local workforce through equipping them with invaluable life
skills. Many programs focus solely on academics, leaving students
unprepared for the challenges of COLLEGE LIFE. Studies have shown that
a large percentage of students drop out not due to academic failure,
but unexpected life challenges. These burdens fall especially high in
low-income and first-generation COLLEGE STUDENTS. We use a fun and
engaging role play game, along with follow-up panels and workshops, to
teach students about the obstacles and challenges that may lie ahead.
As students navigate the four "years" or rounds of the game, they
become more confident in their ability to handle higher
education! Thursday, June 29th 2017 will mark our very first giving
celebration and we hope you will join us to help make sure all
students are prepared for college, no matter their background. The
event will be held at the beautiful and historic Shea's Performing
Arts Center in downtown Buffalo from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, and will feature
a preview of the simulation game our students take, reflections on our
first few years of programming from Executive Director April Baskin,
and the awarding of a scholarship to one lucky TCSE student! Come be a
part of the Simulation Experience and help local students succed in
higher ed!
