Preparing for the Weekend

Here is a checklist of things you should do before Collegiate Growth Academy to ensure you’re set up for success and do not miss anything. We want to make sure the weekend runs smoothly and by accomplishing these tasks ahead of time, you will be best prepared!

✓ Ensure the contact information for the 2024 VP R, VP RI, VP PRM and VP NME have been updated in Lyre Links.

We will be sending communication to the officers in the database before and after the program. If you are not receiving communication about Collegiate Growth Academy, please reach out to the previous officer to have her forward the information to you. Please also work with your VP PRM to get your correct contact information updated in Lyre Links under your officer role. Also, the officers in Lyre Links will have access to The Heights Learning Center, where required pre-work will need to be completed.
