College Tour: Each Fall, the GETDC takes students in grades 10 through 12 on a three-day tour of colleges and universities in the mid-Atlantic region. Our tours have included Georgetown, Morgan State, American University, the University of Maryland-College Park, and Howard University. The tours are educational, informative, and FUN, providing future co-eds with a up-close view of college life. At each stop students will tour the campus and meet with college representation.
