Blair’s 13th-annual College Fair offered an amazing learning opportunity for students and parents eager to find out more about colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and abroad. Representatives from more than 110 institutions attended the fair, which was be held in Hardwick Hall on April 17 and 18.. Area students, parents and guidance counselors were invited to attend.

The College Fair gave students who are just beginning their college search the opportunity to gain information about different schools’ programs and application procedures directly from college admission representatives. Blair’s Dean of College Counseling Lew Stival recommended that students familiarize themselves with representatives of schools to which they may apply, as these admission officers are often the people who will eventually read applications and will be involved in admission decisions.

“After a long admission season, college representatives are excited to get back into the field to meet prospective students firsthand,” Mr. Stival said. “These representatives typically have a renewed energy in the springtime, and there is no better time to make an introduction.”

Blair's college counselors were on hand each evening to answer families’ questions about the college admission process.
