Palm Springs College Showcase
We are excited to see you on Sunday, July 12th at 2:00 for the Welcome Event. In partnership with Chuck Liddiard and the Paratum Scholars, we are excited to offer you an opportunity to learn and meet with college admissions counselors from nationally-ranked institutions during our CWC Welcome Event.

Leading up to the college fair, we are asking all players and parents to register for a Strive Scan barcode before the event. Please keep in mind that by registering for your barcode, your information will not be shared with any colleges or universities. During the fair, you will have the choice to have representatives scan your barcode to connect with you further. The day after the fair, you will also receive a report with information on the institutions with which you scanned.
Lastly, to prepare you for the college fair, the Paratum Scholars have prepared a guide for students and parents to make the most of the college fair — please see the attached PDF. If you have any general questions about the Palm Springs College Showcase or any specific questions regarding your college search, application, and recruitment processes, do not hesitate to reach out to Chuck Liddiard by emailing him at cliddiard@theparatumscholars.org.
