Great visit with Joshua Artrip from UNCG on Friday November 20, 2009

     On Friday, November 20, 2009 at 11:00 a.m., we had four seniors and five juniors meet with Joshua Artrip an admissions counselor from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  The students had many great questions.  Mr. Artrip was tremendous with the students and fielding their questions.  Also, one of our seniors that attended the meeting has already applied to UNCG.

     Students interested in UNCG should visit the Spartan Link that UNCG has set up for perspective students.  The Spartan Link allows perspective students to learn more about UNCG, register for admission events, schedule a campus tour and apply online.

     The UNCG campus is located at 1400 Spring Garden Street, Greensboro, NC 27412.  For more information about UNCG, please come by the guidance office, contact Mr. Artrip or visit UNCG online.

Thanks Josh for giving your time to these QGPHS students!
