Prepare
Prepare to become a Wake Forest University College LAUNCH Scholar. Graduates of our program are more prepared for the college application process and for their future careers than their peers.
Dates
2026-2027
Prepare for College LAUNCH Saturday Summits by saving the 2026-2027 dates to your calendar. All events take place from 9:00 – 2:00 p.m. unless communicated otherwise. Please check your email frequently for RSVP reminders and event logistics.
All LAUNCH Scholars are required to attend at least 8 out of 9 Saturday Summits in order to complete the program. If you cannot attend an event you must let the College LAUNCH team know ahead of time by emailing . Some workshops may count as a Saturday Summit makeup if a Scholar misses more than one summit. Makeup assignments will be communicated by College LAUNCH staff once a student emails that they will miss the event.
