Peninsula College will host a series of Running Start Information Nights in Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Forks, and via Zoom during February, March, and April this year.

Organizers of the events said they are designed to provide prospective Running Start students and their parents with an opportunity to learn more about the program and how high school juniors and seniors can earn college credit, tuition-free. They will also learn about strategies for success and what parents and families can do to be supportive.

Students and parents who wish to attend a Running Start Information Night on the main campus in Port Angeles are welcome at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 2 and Thursday, April 13. The information sessions and panel discussions will be held in  Peninsula College’s Little Theater, J Building. An optional campus tour will be offered beforehand at 6:30 p.m.
