Running Start information session set for March 11

An information session for potential Running Start students will be held March 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the Masto Conference Center at Big Bend Community College.

Running Start is a program that allows eligible high school juniors and seniors to earn college credits tuition-free while still earning high school credits needed for high school graduation. Students may enroll full or part-time.

Approximately 200 Running Start students are attending BBCC this academic year, according to college officials.

The session is offered for students and their parents, and information will be available in Spanish. For information, contact Marsha Nelson at 509-793-2030.
