Discover Seattle Colleges
Discover Seattle Colleges is an annual districtwide recruitment campaign, piloted during the pandemic and now in its third year. The campaign includes two main weeklong activities. The first is a series of online Zoom events, organized in eight areas of study, which invites prospective students and their families as well as current students to get inspired about their future careers. Participants are welcomed by recruitment staff each night, then join breakout rooms to listen to Seattle Colleges faculty present about their programs. The following week, a series of open house events at our colleges and specialty centers kick off. Prospects from the first week and the public are invited to learn more in person and get started on their career path through campus tours; campus student services, scholarships, clubs, and employment tabling; classroom demonstrations; food; college giveaways; and more.
