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.

StriveScan

Connect with colleges in attendance quickly and easily with StriveScan! Students register for free, and a barcode will be texted and emailed to them immediately. Colleges can download the StriveScan app to scan students’ barcodes and get access to their information instantly rather than spending time filling out contact paperwork.

Questions to Ask College Representatives

  • Can you tell me a little bit about your college/university? Where are you located?
  • What are the admissions requirements for your college/university?
  • How big is your school?
  • Do you offer a major for my desired career field? Is it a special admissions program? What additional steps beyond applying to the college do I have to do to get into it?
  • How many years would I have to go to college to get my degree?
  • How much does it cost to attend your school/university?
  • What kind of clubs or organizations does your college/university offer?
  • What kind of housing options does your college/university offer?
