UNH Hosts College Fair September 27 And 28
September 12, 2007
High school juniors and seniors and their families are invited to UNH’s
College Fair Thursday, Sept. 27, from 7-9 p.m., and Friday, Sept. 28, from
9-11:30 a.m. at the Field House. Sponsored by the New England Association
for College Admissions Counseling (NEACAC), the College Fair brings representatives
of more than 225 universities and colleges together.
Representatives of participating colleges and universities from throughout
the United States and Canada will be available to talk with prospective
students, provide information about their institutions, and answer questions.
The fair also offers representatives from Nellie Mae, New England Board
of Higher Education (NEBHE), and the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance
Foundation (NHHEAF).
“This is a fantastic opportunity for college-bound high school students
and their parents to question college representatives about admissions
criteria, academic programs, and costs,” said Lucretia Wallace-Beaudet,
UNH College Fair coordinator. “Guidance counselors from area high
schools and representatives from federal and state education funding sources
will also be available to answer questions.”
Students are advised to meet with their school guidance counselor prior
to attending to begin discussing what type of higher education they are
interested in pursuing and possible major areas of study. The fair is expected
to attract 2,000 students, so arriving well-prepared will make for a more
rewarding experience.
