Rowing to College

PANELISTS:

• Rowers Reach co-founders Carmen Mirochna & Fran Berlin
• GWU rower Brian O’Rourke, formerly of ABCrew (Arlington/Belmont HS, Massachusetts)
• Varsity coach Andrea Landry of Holy Cross

How can a student bridge the gap between their dream of a college experience and finding the university program that fits best with their rowing and academic goals? Where do parents fit in?

In this episode, our expert panelists explain the recruiting process, explore the options at club, DI, DII and DIII programs, and talk about realistic goals and expectations.

Nobody can guarantee admission to a certain college, but the high school athlete can learn how to put their best foot forward, formulate a plan, and find a school that fits academically and athletically.
