More than 80 students from Highland Park, Topeka High, Topeka West, Hope Street Academy and Capital City Schools attended the first Educational Equity College Day. The day- long event was held at the Brown v Board National Historic Site. Students had the opportunity to gather information and ask questions of representatives from Washburn University, the University of Kansas and Kansas State University. A parent who successfully navigated the college application process with her daughter provided information about college financial aid. While at Brown, students were able to participate in a game by park rangers where they learned about the U.S. Supreme Court decision that ended segregation in public schools.
