Career Day – College Fair
An Illinois Regional College Fair is held as a part of Career Day. Representatives from approximately 50 different colleges around the country will be on hand to speak with students about what their colleges have to offer. This college fair allows students to have exposure to many different colleges at one time, a unique opportunity that they might not have elsewhere.
The College Fair is held from 9:30-11:30. Group 2 students attend from 9:30-10:05, upon their arrival for the day and prior to attending sessions. Group 1 students attend from 11:05-11:30, after attending their sessions. Students may also register to attend the College Fair as one of their sessions if they wish to have more time to explore this component of the day.
