CMC Fall Diversity Fly-in Program
2019 Fall Preview Program
Saturday, October 12 – Tuesday, October 15
Deadline: August 15, 2019
The 2019 Preview Fly-In Program application is now live! The deadline for all applications is Thursday, August 15, 2019.
During the Fall, Claremont McKenna College hosts a fly-in program for students from historically underrepresented communities - first generation American, first generation to college, etc. - who demonstrate strong academic excellence and genuine interest in exploring all that CMC has to offer. This program is open for students who will be seniors in high school in the Fall of 2019. Prospective applicants get an inside look into the life of a "CMCer" by attending classes, meeting faculty and students to discuss academic pursuits, research and co-curricular opportunities, enjoying an Athenaeum dinner and talk, and diving deep into conversations that explore CMC's commitment to diversity, academic success, and internships & experiences.
If selected, all airfare, transportation between local airports and campus, housing accommodations, and meals will be covered by the College.
If you have any questions please reach out to the Preview Program team at preview@cmc.edu or 909.621.8088.
