As the decision time for students reaches closer to May. 1, colleges continue to support and persuade students for college.

On March 6, 19 colleges traveled to Liberty to inform students about their university. Some of these colleges included the University Of Arkansas, Westminster, Mizzou, University of Kansas, and so much more.

This is the second year Liberty has put on the mini college fair.

Although this college fair is unique compared to other fairs because it is offered in two separate parts.

Students start in the auditorium. And at this point each admissions representative for each college gets to speak for around 1-2 minutes each. This gives them time to connect with many students at once. After each college has presented, students traveled

just outside of the auditorium to the tables of each college.

This unique approach to a college fair gives students a better idea on which college tables to visit before they visit them. It also gives students more time to ask questions and learn more about a possible college or career choice.

Westminster admissions representative, Jennifer Nowack’s main goal is to give students the comfort of college during these stressful time.

“My main goal is to inform students,” Nowack said. “There’s only so much a guidance counselor can do. So it’s our jobs to give them more information they may not know.”

Now, this fair was not opened to anyone at anytime. It was required to sign up for the fair if you wanted to attend. In total, around 80 students signed up and attended the fair.

This fair was recommended to seniors who have the potential to be successful in college, but may have procrastinated, along with college-bound juniors, or even high college motivated sophomores.

“I am currently committed to Mizzou and I came to the college fair to learn more about Mizzou and to ask questions,” Berkley Lamarque (12) said.

If you were not able to attend the college fair this year, be sure to attend next year for the now annual college fair.
