Career Day – College and Career Fair
A College and Career Fair is held as a part of Career Day. Representatives from approximately 30 different colleges around the country will be on hand to speak with students about what their colleges have to offer. This portion allows students to have exposure to many different colleges at one time, a unique opportunity that they might not have elsewhere. This portion will also include local organizations and employers, providing additional path opportunities for students to explore.
The College and Career 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 and Career Fair as one of their sessions if they wish to have more time to explore this component of the day.
