: Attendees at last year’s Chester County College Fair were empowered to speak with representatives from a variety of postsecondary institutions.

The Chester County College Fair, organized by the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU), will take place at United Sports in Downingtown on Monday, October 14, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. From institutions of higher learning and opportunities in the armed forces to options for special education, the Chester County College Fair empowers students and their families to explore postsecondary avenues from coast to coast in one evening.

Sponsored by CCRES Educational and Behavioral Health Services, this free event is open to the public. Due to the number of anticipated participants and to ease the flow of traffic during the fair, attendees are asked to register for a time slot based on their last name as follows:

A – M: 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
N – Z: 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Students and their families are encouraged to register, visit with as many colleges and other institutions as they can during their allotted hour, and speak to representatives to get their questions answered regarding entrance requirements, financial aid, academic programs, and campus life. Informational brochures and catalogs will also be available for additional information.
“The Chester County College Fair offers a unique opportunity to discover a wide range of postsecondary options in a short period of time,” said Jay Della Ragione, special events coordinator for the CCIU. “Whether you are interested in attending a university, exploring the armed forces, or learning about options for special education programs, this event helps families connect with representatives and gather essential information. It’s a must-attend event for anyone planning their future beyond high school.”
Local participating colleges and universities include Bryn Mawr College, Delaware County Community College, Immaculata University, Kutztown University, Moore College of Art & Design, Montgomery County Community College, Rosemont College, St. Joseph’s University, Valley Forge Military College, and West Chester University. Participating out-of-state institutions include Alabama A&M University, Binghamton University, Christopher Newport University, Flagler College, Hofstra University, Miami University, Roanoke College, Towson University, and University of New Hampshire.
