Once again the Memphis Area College Night (MACN) college fair returns to the West Tennessee area. If you have a high school student, this is an event they should attend. The MACN college fair has been held annually in Memphis for several years. It has given college – bound students an opportunity to connect with representatives from noted colleges and universities from across the country all in one place.
The free college fair is open to high school students only and their parents. September is a major month for students beginning the application process for post-secondary education. The MCAN can give seniors a last minute look at some schools to consider. There are more than 100 colleges and universities with representatives scheduled to attend the event to speak to potential students. Schools from California to Missouri to Connecticut will be represented. Several schools from Tennessee – for those parents who may want to keep their children close to home – will also be onsite.
Although the event is geared towards students who already plan to attend college, you should also encourage your high school student, who does not have college on their mind, to attend. Having the opportunity to see what options are available to that child may cause them to reconsider their path after high school graduation. Because plans change, students should take advantage of as many opportunities that are now open to them.
The MACN is only two hours long, which is not a lot of time to visit with all of the schools. Students should review the vendor list to see which vendors they want to visit. Coming prepared with questions for the representatives will enable students to make thoughtful decisions regarding schools they are considering attending after high school.
The MACN will be held on Monday, September 17, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Agricenter International {7777 Walnut Grove, Memphis, 38120}. There is no need to register to attend. Call (901) 569-3427 or e-mail MACN for more information.
