The Pennsylvania Association for College Admission Counseling (PACAC) will host its Annual Northeast Regional College Fair on Monday, April 29, in the McGrane Gymnasium of the Scandlon Physical Education Center at King’s College.
College admission counselors and financial aid representatives from more than 100 colleges and universities from across the United States will attend. The fair is free and open to the public from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Students are welcome to register beforehand at www.strivefair.com but it is not required to attend.
“This annual event, which typically draws more than 1,500 students from 18 regional high schools, is also open to college transfer and non-traditional students,” said Michelle Landon, director of undergraduate admission at King’s. “We’re grateful for all for the local school districts, school counselors, and teacher chaperones who came together to offer this invaluable resource to prospective students across Northeastern Pennsylvania.”
Students and parents interested in learning more may contact their school’s counseling office. Large groups from regional high schools are encouraged to register for the fair and arrange transportation, which can be coordinated with Michelle Landon at (570) 208-5858 or michellelandon@kings.edu.
