COLLEGE FAIR AND

POSTSECONDARY EXPO

Mark your calendars to attend Maine Township High School District 207’s College Fair and Postsecondary Expo (featuring career options that don’t require a 4-year college degree) on Wednesday, September 7, 2022 from 6:30-8:30 PM at Maine East High School. This is the first time we have merged these two events together and we are excited to provide an inclusive event for all of our students to meet their postsecondary planning needs. 

 

Approximately 150 college admission representatives will be in attendance. Students and their families will get to meet college admission representatives (“college reps”) from across the country, ask questions, and get answers directly from the experts. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to explore post-high school options! Although all District 207 families are invited to attend, it is most appropriate for Juniors and Seniors. 

 

Students should pre-register for the College Fair portion at www.strivefair.com 

to get a barcode that the colleges will use to scan in order to receive your contact information so that they can follow up, share upcoming events, send reminders about deadlines, etc. It’s free to pre-register and saves everyone time and hassle by not having to register at the door! There is no need to pre-register for the Postsecondary Expo.
