McKee College Fair

A big thanks to all the students and parents that came out to the McKee College Fair this past Saturday! It was small  but I hope those of you who came were able to get some useful information from the schools that did attend. We will be having a larger fair in the fall and I would love to hear from some of you who you would be interested in seeing and speaking to then. Please comment on this post or email me at JPecora5@schools.nyc.gov with the names of schools you would particularly like to see or speak to in the fall. Schools from all over the country have regional representatives that come to high school fairs to speak to parents and students like you who can't take the long trip to visit a school that is hours away. So please, be in touch with me and let me know who you would like to see!

Another big thanks to all the colleges that attended our college fair:

• St. John's University
• College of Staten Island
• Kingsborough Community College
• CUNY
• SUNY Alfred State
• US Marines
• NYU Poly 
• Berkeley College
• IDC
• Penn State

Colleges That Change Lives

Each Colleges That Change Lives information session begins with an enlightening 30-minute panel presentation on completing a college search today. We promise to not bore you with a session about how to apply for college, what to expect during a campus visit, and so forth.

 

Instead, we will share with you the latest research on specific campus characteristics and learning components that lead to the most successful college experience. We will challenge you to view popular college rankings as just one measure of quality among many. Above all, we will encourage you to make the college search process a well-informed journey that leads to the best possible outcome: finding the best college fit.

 

Immediately after the panel presentation, the college fair begins and lasts for approximately 1.5 hours. Students and families will be able to collect information from and speak directly with admission representatives from the colleges and universities that inspired the book Colleges That Change Lives.

 

CTCL events are free to the public, and pre-registration is not required.
