College Fair participants may offer workshops to our students. There will be a place on the registration form for you to indicate which topics are of the greatest interest to you.  You will be notified by late August if you are selected to present a workshop. Workshop topics in the past have included:

• Careers in Business

• Careers in Engineering

• Careers in Medicine, Nutrition, and Health

• College Admissions Tests and Testing Policies

• Developing an Art Portfolio

• Financing Your Education

• How Does the College Application Process Work?

• How to Find the Right Colleges/Universities for You

• How to Identify the Right Career/Major for You

• Liberal Arts Colleges/Curriculum

• Looking Beyond Rankings to Find Your Best Fit

• The College Application Essay

• Guide to Supplemental Essays

• What Does It Take To Get Into a Highly Selective College?

• What Juniors Should Be Doing Now

Our College Fair will be hosted on our campus.  For each university in attendance, we will provide:

• A table (approximately 1.5* m x 0.75 m) with a tablecloth and a chair

• A sign with your school’s name

• Bottled water and a little snack to keep you going during the fair

• Lunch

• Wireless internet access

You are welcome to bring a sign or tablecloth for your table, and printed materials about your university’s programs.  However, floor displays will be strictly prohibited for all universities.  The rule is - if it fits on your table, you are welcome to have it.  If not, please don't put it out.  Thank you for your understanding of our desire to conserve space and ensure that all universities have equal opportunity to attract students to their tables at the fair.

You are also welcome to bring a laptop or other electronic device to display on your table.  However, electrical outlets will probably not be available near your table (and we will not be able to relocate your table to accommodate electrical needs), so please charge your batteries in advance.

If you would like to bring “giveaway” items for our students, you are welcome to do so. Items such as pens, pencils, post-it notes, bags, pennants, small gadgets, etc. are absolutely welcome.

You are welcome to package any materials that you wish to distribute at the fair and ship them to us in advance. Any expense for shipping materials should be covered in advance by the institution. We will store the materials for you and place them on your table so that they will be waiting for you when you arrive.  However, we are also making great efforts to be a “green” campus, so we would appreciate it if you would plan on taking all of your materials with you after the fair (you may leave one copy for the counseling office if you like).  We will make recycling bins available.
