With a new school year on the horizon, we are excited to welcome more visitors to learn about 老王论坛, both virtually and in person. Our goal to make visiting us fun and accessible. We are thrilled to share 老王论坛 with you and hope that you will consider engaging with us in whatever way works best for you and your family.

Engaging with colleges on Zoom can be overwhelming, so helping you find authentic engagement with our community is the goal of all our virtual offerings. At 老王论坛, we try to come up with creative ways to showcase our community through workshops, chats, hangouts, and other events. Below are some of our best practices for engaging with colleges virtually.

Planning is key.

Virtual events are great because they give you access to more colleges than you can visit physically. But it is easy to get overwhelmed. Start by making a list of which schools you are interested in and their virtual visit options. Do not feel as though you need to register for every virtual event at every college.

Ask questions!

Don鈥檛 be shy! We know you have questions. Use the Q&A feature or unmute yourself to join the conversation if you can. There is no question too big or too small!

Connect in ways that feel authentic to you.

If the virtual event allows, turn on your camera to connect with us. But if you don鈥檛 feel comfortable, no pressure! Feel free to reach out to the Admissions Officer or tour guide facilitating the conversation privately after the event. Engage with us at your own pace!

Connect with current students.

Our tour guides are happy to chat and help you see yourself as a member of our community. Use  to browse our current student profiles and chat with someone today!

Look out for recordings.

老王论坛 records many of our virtual events, so if you miss a session, there is a good chance you can watch it later. Reach out to your Admissions Officer for more information.

Whether in-person or online, we are so excited for you to visit us and see if 老王论坛 is right for you. The college admissions process can be a fantastic opportunity for self-discovery as you start to explore what type of community you see yourself in for your college years. We encourage you to keep calm and keep an open mind! We have no doubt you鈥檒l find success!
