Get on Board! Come to the College Fair on Oct. 1st!

"Go to college!"  This is an oft-repeated phrase, but the question is which college?  Which college is a good fit for you?  Instead of throwing around different college names without any knowledge of why that college might be a good fit, take the opportunity to learn more about college options in our state and around the country.  One of the easiest ways to do this is to head to a college fair, and meet loads of reps from all different colleges in one day.  That way, you'll be one step closer to finding the colleges that you'd be happy to attend, having found the right fit for you.  

Lucky you, there's a college fair coming up on Saturday, October 1st.  It's not just a college fair--it's THE biggest college fair of the year.  It's the RMACAC (Rocky Mountain Association for for College Admission Counseling) College Fair, and it's hosted at Juan Diego High School in Sandy, Utah.  Before you think that's too far--I couldn't possibly get there--read this:  

We have a bus to take any and all interested students to the college fair!  
       The college fair is free.

***Students planning on attending the fair need to pre-register at www.gotocollegefairs.com.   You will be able to then have your name linked with a barcode you will receive at the college fair.  This will allow you to check in with many colleges, helping you to meet the colleges reps rather than repeatedly writing your contact information!  If you're going--be sure to complete this step!

So, don't wait!  Get a persmission slip today, fill it out, turn it in ASAP, and mark your calendars for Saturday, October, 1, 2016!  See you then!  Any questions?  Email the College Prep Advisor @ brooke.krim@gmail.com OR krim.scholarship@gmail.com
