Virtual tours, which became mainstream at colleges everywhere once Covid-19 took hold, have given students all sorts of opportunities to interface with colleges from their own homes. Encourage your students to check college websites to look for virtual events at schools they are interested in researching. They (and you) will be able to “tour” more colleges than ever before which helps make access to college campuses quite equitable.
Below is a sampling of schools events that are happening, so you can get an idea of what is out there. This is just a small sampling of west coast schools that are hosting virtual tours.
