Dayton Metro Library issued the following announcement on February 17.
College and Career Fair to be Held at Dayton Metro Library
The Dayton Metro Library will host a College and Career Fair on Saturday, March 5, 12 - 4 pm, at the Main Library, in the Community Room, 2nd Floor. Those interested in learning about attending college, college programs, and different career fields could benefit by visiting representatives from 28 schools, trade and union organizations, military branches, public service, and Ohio’s 529 CollegeAvantage.
Laura Chamberlain, Teen Services Coordinator at Dayton Metro Library, expresses how excited the Library is to be hosting such a fair. “We are really looking forward to providing students with an opportunity to explore all the different pathways that exist after high school, whether it is pursuing a skilled trade, entering public service, or continuing their studies at one of the many great schools here in Ohio,” she said. “Whether they are a sophomore or junior looking to plan ahead or a senior still making decisions, this is a great chance for young people to meet face to face with those who can help answer their questions and find their best fit.”
Learning about Ohio’s 529 Plan could be especially beneficial, as representatives will help families understand that their savings plan can be used not just for four-year universities and colleges, but two-year community colleges, trade and specialty schools, certificate programs, graduate school, law school, medical school, and apprenticeships.
Also, Shyra Thomas, Assistant Director of Admissions at the University of Dayton, will present three half hour-long sessions in the Bassani Theater, 3rd Floor. Her presentations will provide information on making decisions about college, application timelines, and addressing the basics of financial aid.
Registration is not required. For more information about the College and Career Fair, call the Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
