We recommend wearing a good pair of shoes as there will be a lot of walking on campus. Check the weather a day or so beforehand and dress for the weather as we will be outside frequently – even in winter! Some students bring water bottles or a small bag with a notebook and pencil to write notes with. Also, before attending in the morning – we highly recommend eating breakfast!

Project Success is dedicated to making these tours accessible. If you have a question or need – please let us know by calling or emailing us as we are here to support you!
