The 11th annual College Night will be October 14th, in the Rocklin High School gymnasiums. Over 100 college reps have been invited to showcase their schools. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and close at 8:30 p.m. Admission is free.
College Night is sponsored by the Placer County Foothills High Schools Consortium, made up of Colfax, Foresthill, Placer, Del Oro, Wheatland, Lincoln, Whitney and Rocklin High Schools. The fair is part of the Northern California Transfer Day and College Night tour.
Break out sessions will be offered in six areas, UC Overview, CSU Overview, Private College Overview, Sierra College Overview, Financial Aid Overview and NCAA Overview.
College Night is a great way to visit with reps about admission policies and procedures. Students can expect to pick up a plethora of brochures from schools ranging from Stanford University to California Apprenticeship Programs. Dozens of out of state schools plan to attend College Night, along with military recruiters, who will be on hand to talk about education and training available through the Armed Services. Military Academy reps have also been invited.
Students can plan ahead by printing labels with their contact information to expedite registering at the many different college display tables. They should also plan to bring a shopping bag to pack all the of the recruiting information they collect.
Often students are confused about what questions are appropriate at a college fair. Since it's an arena style format and often a large crowd, this is not the setting to have an intimate conversation about how to choose your major. College Night questions should be centered on admissions policies, academics or campus life and specific to the rep's university. Always ask for the rep's contact information if you have more questions and follow up with an email to that rep to continue your conversation.
College Night is an exciting night of gathering college and career information. Don't miss it!
