Norfolk middle-school students visit Norfolk State University for Future Leaders Education Day
Summary
Students from every middle school in Norfolk Public Schools visited Norfolk State University for Future Leaders Education Day and attended an NSU women’s basketball game to experience college campus life.
Students from every middle school in the Norfolk Public Schools division visited Norfolk State University for Future Leaders Education Day, where they watched the Norfolk State Lady Spartans defeat Shaw University.
School officials said the event was intended to give middle-school students a firsthand experience of a college campus and campus life beyond academics, including attending an athletic event.
Norfolk Public Schools communications staff described the visit as an opportunity for students to “see what it is to be in college” and to learn that college involves studying, scholarship and degree attainment. The division said the experience focused on exposing younger students to higher-education settings to broaden their expectations about postsecondary options.
The announcement did not specify the visit date, participating middle-school names, or any follow-up programming tied to the campus visit.
Norfolk Public Schools posts divisionwide updates and video stories on its website and social channels for more information.
