College Visits in Action
Greater Than students aren’t just learning about college, they’re experiencing it firsthand.

Stepping Onto Campus and Into Possibility
This spring, students of all grades are visiting campuses including Mt. Hood Community College, Warner Pacific University, Portland State University, Oregon Health & Science University, Lewis & Clark College, and Linfield University.
They are walking through classrooms, exploring campus spaces, and participating in hands-on activities that bring college to life.
These experiences help students move from simply imagining their future to actively planning for it.
