Prepare for College Fairs!

Besides the Oklahoma State Fair, what starts in September? If you guessed college fairs, it’s fair to say, “You’re right!” College fairs offer great opportunities for high school juniors and seniors to visit with college representatives about their future plans for higher education.

Check out our 2014 College Fair listing to find detailed information about dates, locations and times of each event. Be sure to advise the students and families you serve of college fairs to be held in your vicinity well in advance of the event so they can plan to attend.

To increase awareness and participation, consider asking your school administration for permission to award extra credit to students who attend. Encourage students to use UCanGo2’s College Fair Worksheet to get the most out of their time spent at each fair. This tool could also be used to validate attendance.

For more information about college fairs and college planning, visit UCanGo2.org/counselors/index.htm or call 866.443.7420 (toll free) or 405.234.4554 to speak with a UCanGo2 representative.  We’re here to help!
