Edison's annual College Fair a success

Area high school students speak to Edison Community College representatives, Stacey Bean and Amber Selhorst, about educational opportunities during the annual College Fair.

With over 700 area high school students in attendance, Edison Community College’s recent College Fair proved to be a success. Students from Botkins, Bradford, Christian Academy, Fairlawn, Milton-Union, Piqua, Sidney, and Russia were on campus to learn more about the various educational opportunities available to them.

“The College Fair was a success and I’m already excited for next year!” said Christina Raterman, Enrollment Manager at Edison. “I’m grateful to all the high school counselors and teachers who got the word out to their students about this awesome opportunity.”

Over 60 colleges and universities from Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee were at Edison to speak with students, parents and guidance counselors about opportunities in higher education. Advisors and representatives were available to address questions regarding courses, tuition, job placement rates for majors, accreditation, the transfer process, and more.

“We had 63 college representatives on campus to speak to students and community members,” added Raterman. “Many representatives let me know that the students seemed really prepared and asked a lot of great questions.”

Edison Community College highlighted its more than 30 associate degrees and one-year certificate programs, designed to help students transfer to four-year colleges and universities or help launch a professional career.
