The Simi Valley Youth Council invites students and parents to attend Thursday Nights with Emma, a free webinar series to help students navigate and excel in high school and college academics.

On May 20, Emma Mikita will cover the topic of studying abroad and will share her experience travelling abroad to Spain to further enrich her studies. High school students that may want to study abroad during college will find this information very helpful in making decisions about these opportunities.

Ms. Mikita, a Royal High School graduate, has been leading the interactive webinar series this entire month. As a third-year college student attending La Verne University, Emma is driven to help high school students prepare to successfully make the transition to college. Her one-hour webinars, guided by recommendations from the Youth Council, include time for Q & A on the topics.

“I encourage both students and parents to participate in the free Thursday Nights with Emma webinars,” stated the Youth Council Chair Riya Manimaran. “It’s difficult navigating the college application process and you don’t have to go about it alone. Attending the webinars and getting questions answered can serve to help those burning questions you might have; I think anyone who attends, whether it be parent or student, can come out with valuable information.”
