“The fair is a one-stop opportunity for students to gather a lot of valuable academic information from real people in a short amount of time,” said Martha Toebben, career services coordinating counselor. “Students can talk to people already working in their field, then find out which academic path they should take to get there.”

More than 50 majors will be represented at the fair this year, along with counselors and representatives from nearly 30 Missouri colleges. The event is open to all current, former and prospective SCC students.

Individual booths, each representing a college major, will be set up in the College Center Gym. Students can talk with representatives at various tables inquiring about the college major and related career opportunities. 

Booths staffed with admissions representatives from various colleges and universities will also be available for students interested in applying to and attending their universities. Students are encouraged to bring a record of their completed college courses, as well as any questions they may have about transferring.

The following colleges and universities will have representatives at the fair: Chamberlain College of Nursing, Columbia College, Concordia University-Wisconsin St. Louis, Cottey College, Devry University, Fontbonne University, Hannibal-LaGrange University, Harris-Stowe State University, Kaplan University, Lindenwood University, Logan College of Chiropractic, Maryville University, McKendree University, Missouri Baptist University, Missouri State University, Missouri Tech, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Respond Right EMS Academy, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, St. Louis Christian College, St. Louis University, Stephens College, Truman State University, University of Phoenix, University of Central Missouri, University of Missouri, University of Missouri-St. Louis, University of Missouri-St. Charles Extension and Webster University.
