be held in the TOZ (Red) Gym from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Each year, approximately 120 colleges from

opportunity to meet the representatives face-to-face, to ask questions about a
particular college major, and to inquire about general admissions requirements.

year students are strongly encouraged to attend. Please click below for directions and a list of colleges attending the fair.
