Pine Technical College and the Pine City Civic Center have joined forces to bring a college fair to the Pine Area, Sept. 30. Representatives from nearly 100 colleges and universities across the U.S. and all branches of the military will be on hand with applications, financial aid information, and program and career information. The fair will be held at the civic center, 1225 Main St. S., Pine City, and will run 9 to 11 a.m.
“This is a really big deal for not just high schoolers in the area, but for anyone interested in pursuing a college education,” says Jodie Klinkhammer, event organizer and PTC Student Affairs Office Manager/Assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs. “Of course, as a result of hosting the fair combined with the fact that we are the local college and likely the most convenient choice for students, we expect to gain the most traffic at our booth; however, it’s more than that – we love that high schoolers and adults seeking formal education have the opportunity to meet with so many varied options. It’s just good for us all to bring in this wide range of public, private, liberal arts, and other technical institutions for everyone to experience,” Klinkhammer adds.
The event will give students and parents an opportunity to explore a variety of options for continued education, liberal arts studies, technical training, or military service. Students and parents are able to visit with representatives, ask questions, and obtain literature about the schools and organizations of interest to them. Admission to the fair is free.
