Coastline’s Newport campus hosts high school preview

High school students can get a glimpse of college life during College Preview Day at Coastline Community College’s Newport Beach campus next week.

Students from the Huntington Beach Union High, Newport-Mesa and Garden Grove unified school district are invited to the event from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. April 24.

Attendees can drop in on a number of classes, including drawing, college algebra, human anatomy, paralegal studies and psychology.

Students will get the chance to learn about registration and financial aid as well as get a tour of Coastline’s newly built Newport Beach Campus.

“We just hope to get the high school students exposed to it and know that we have a campus in Newport Beach and that it’s an option for them,” said Cristina Arellano, Coastline’s outreach coordinator.

Some schools are attending as groups, but single-student sign-ups are welcome as well, Arellano said.

Because lunch, a free goodie bag and T-shirt will be provided, Arellano asked that students reserve a spot beforehand.

To do so, attendees can call (714) 546-7600 Ext 16427 or e-mail myfuture@coastline.edu.
