LEWISTON — Students in the College Transition Program have celebrated the end of their studies and received tips about the next stage of their education, thanks to an event at the B Street Community Center.
Graduates of the program shared their experiences in college-level classes at the celebration Tues., Dec. 19. They all stressed the importance of asking questions of professors when classes got difficult and finding help with academic papers.
The College Transition Program, functioning under the umbrella of Lewiston Adult Education, is free and designed for people, who live or work in Androscoggin County, planning to enroll in college in the next 12 to 18 months. It provides a comprehensive review of reading, writing and math in a college-style setting.
The students who received certificates of completion were Hana Omar, Amal Hassan, Shawnee Cote, Brett Griffin, Isaac Shawver, Joseph Miakouissa and Joao Massela.
The next College Transition Program will begin Jan. 9 at the B Street Community Center, 57 Birch St.
Classes will meet from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesdays and Thursdays. Call Lewiston Adult Education, 207-795-4141, for an application and to schedule a skills assessment.
