Edison Community College Hosts Annual College Fair

Finding the right school can be like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. Things like size, location and cost are all elements that can have a major impact on a student’s decision for where they will attend college and how successful they will ultimately be.

Edison Community College will again be helping students and their parents with this monumental decision, by hosting the annual College Fair on Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 12:30 – 2 p.m. in the Convocation Center of the Piqua Campus.

Nearly 50 colleges and universities from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan will be on Edison’s campus to talk with students, parents and guidance counselors about opportunities in higher education. Advisors and representatives will be able to address questions regarding courses, tuition, job placement rates for majors, accreditation and the transfer process, and more.

“The annual college fair is a great way for students and parents to come in and get a good, well-rounded look at what colleges and universities have to offer,” said Teresa Roth, director of admissions for Edison. “To have so many great institutions coming to one location here on campus is a huge benefit for Edison’s students and to all of our area high schools as well.”

Some of the highlighted schools attending this year’s college fair will be Ball State University, Eastern Michigan University, Hocking College, Indiana Tech, Northern Kentucky University, The Ohio State University, University of Toledo and Wright State University.

Edison Community College is a fully accredited two-year institution that offers more than 30 associate’s degrees and one-year certificate programs designed to transfer to four-year colleges and universities or help launch a professional career.
