Blair College Counseling

Spring 2010 Update

The Blair College Fair
The Blair College Office will host the fourth annual Blair college fair on the evenings of April 21 and 22 from 7-8:30 p.m. in the field house of Hardwick Hall. With over 30 colleges and universities from all parts of the country and the UK in attendance each night, the Blair fair will be a great opportunity for our juniors and interested sophomores to learn more about a wide-ranging and impressive group of schools. Junior parents are welcome to attend. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact Joe Mantegna, associate dean of College Counseling and Blair fair organizer, at mantej@blair.edu.

June SAT I/II Reminder
Remember that if your son or daughter plans on sitting for the June SAT I/II, he or she should register for a test site near your home. Please contact the College Office with questions.

Summer Visits for Juniors
The summer is a great time to see schools…we encourage you and your child to see as many colleges as possible during the summer in an effort to help finalize your son or daughter’s list. Remember to call to arrange interviews/information sessions/campus tours at all the schools you hope to visit. Doing so is an important part of demonstrated interest that colleges sometimes use to assess a student’s seriousness about a school!

Naviance
Remember to take advantage of our Web-based college counseling program. You can follow your son’s or daughter’s college process by accessing Naviance, which is located in the Helpful Websites of the College Counseling section of the Blair homepage. Using your child’s password, you can visit the site in order to keep current with your child’s progress.
