When students register, they are sharing their registration information only with colleges presenting on that particular panel. StriveScan does not sell or share personally identifiable student information with any other third parties. Students should participate live so they can ask questions and interact with the college admission counselors.

Parents, if you register your students use their student information. https://www.wvacrao.org/studentaccess

They will dress and enter the field as they always have. Williamstown parents will enter the gate by the Old Gym (PIT). This is easily identified as there is construction going on. Parents can park along those streets. The home entrance will be the same gate Williamstown players will go in to enter the field. Williamstown fans are more than welcome to park in that parking lot but will have to walk around the block to enter the visitor gate. We will try and have signs up stating visitor gate.
