This year, Winterfest has a brand new tour, “Christmas Tree Heist”! The trolley tour takes guests on a tour of Whoville when suddenly, news of the Grinch stealing Christmas trees breaks, and the trolley is hijacked to hunt him down.

Hosted by MGM College Services, this virtual event is being held Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024, from 11 am to 2 pm CST as a bridge between high school and college. With a direct focus on 2024 high school graduates, college freshmen, and their parents, the organizer, Marilyn Gilbert-Mitchell, strongly encourages high school students and supportive adults to attend and prepare early.

According to Gilbert-Mitchell, a veteran educator and college access professional, “so often parents and students focus on scholarships, which is an enormous concern for many families, yet they start the process late and overlook other critical parts of college success. That is a major reason speakers will share Academic Tools & Campus Support for Success; Campus and Home Safety; and Mental and Physical Wellness. Added this year are discussions on multiple benefits of being multilingual, family insights on military benefits for education and careers, and going beyond scholarships to pay for college.

As every year, this conference is for the entire family with topics, resources, and action steps for everyone. Presenters are experts in their fields with roles and experiences across ages, levels, and demographics. Panelists include over 60 years of combined experience as educators, a decorated lieutenant with the Chicago Fire Department, and board-certified family nurse practitioner.

As colleges shift their focus areas, expand or eliminate programs, and increase college costs in this post-pandemic environment, millions of students, especially those in underserved and overlooked schools and communities need more access, preparation, and practice preparing for college, career, and life success.

Families are encouraged to attend the conference and afterwards have a family discussion to extend the conference experience and discuss college and career goals.
