Saturday, Nov. 11 is Fall Visit Day at the Finger Lakes Community College main campus.
The day begins at 8:50 a.m. with an Academic and Student Services Connections Fair where students can meet professors and college staff.
High school students can discuss their specific interests and get individual questions answered. Representatives from the athletic department, financial aid, the Equal Opportunity Program, student housing, disability services, and student activities will also be available.
Visitors will have an opportunity to attend information sessions on the application and financial aid process, transfer opportunities, career planning, and assistance for students who have not yet selected a major. FLCC has launched a new advising model in which all students will have at least two advisors from the moment their application is accepted so they can begin planning their schedules well before classes start.

High schoolers connect with FLCC
Students from Mynderse Academy, shown above, met with counselors from four-year schools that have transfer agreements with FLCC on Oct. 25. Waterloo High School students, shown below, also attended.
GENEVA CAMPUS CENTER HOSTS TRANSFER FAIR
The FLCC Geneva Campus Center at 63 Pulteney St. held a transfer fair for two groups of 11th and 12th graders, one for students
from Mynderse Academy in Seneca Falls and another for their counterparts in Waterloo on Oct. 25. The goal was to help high school students understand how transfer pathways work.
Flick, the Lake Monster mascot, greeted the students before they toured the center and spoke with transfer representatives from several SUNY and private four-year schools: SUNY Cortland, Oswego, and Brockport; Keuka College, Rochester Institute of Technology, Nazareth College and Cazenovia College.
FLCC has transfer agreements with more than 30 colleges and universities. For a searchable list of transfer agreements by major or type of institution, click here.

STUDENTS GET A TASTE OF COLLEGE 101
The FLCC-based Regional Education Continuum and the Gemini Office hosted an event called College 101 @ FLCC for
28 students from Marion, Sodus, and South Seneca on Oct. 17 at the main campus in Canandaigua.
College 101 @ FLCC provided the high schoolers with an opportunity to interact with FLCC faculty, staff, and students through mini-lessons focused on aspects related to success in college. The lessons included online learning, student life, academic support and academic advising. Students were also given a hands-on activity in which they built their own academic schedule, and professors talked to them about classroom expectations, teaching styles and the need for students to learn how to advocate for themselves.
The event was organized by assistant
humanities professor Jacqueline Tiermini, a leader in the Regional Education Continuum, and Fred Fink, director of the Gemini program.
FLCC plans to host another College 101 seminar in the spring. To get on the schedule, email to Fred.Fink@flcc.edu or call (585) 785-1668.
