SOAR is open only to Southwestern students during their sophomore year, and there is no cost to attend, so save the dates (January 9-10, 2025) and keep an eye on your email to sign up for early access to the SOAR application.
We look forward to helping you build connections, craft your story, and learn how to make a positive first, second, and third impression.
