S5E23: Rowing to College
Channel: Charlotte Pierce
Date: 21/03/2023

How can a student (or parent) bridge the gap between their dream of a college experience and finding the university program that fits best with their rowing and academic goals?

In this episode, our expert panelists Fran Berlin & Carmen Mirochna of Rowers Reach  explain the recruiting process, explore the options at club, DI, DII and DIII programs, and talk about realistic goals and expectations. Nobody can guarantee admission, but the high school athlete can learn how to put their best foot forward, formulate a plan, and find a school that fits academically and athletically. 

High school coach & UMass alum Kelsey Anderson, prospective D1 rower parent Meg Carroll, and Rochester sophomore Grace Snyder, a 2021 walk-on coxswain, augment the panel.
