Students Attend National College Fair in Atlantic City

On Thursday, November 13, 2014, AVID students from Memorial and the Senior High School attended a National College Fair hosted by the National Association for College Admission Counseling at the Atlantic City Convention Center.  Representatives from approximately 250 two-year and four-year colleges, nursing schools, business schools and trade schools participated in the event.  College admissions representatives were also on hand to answer questions ranging from acceptance policies to student-faculty ratio.  The students were also required to attend at least one workshop offered while visiting the event.  Topics ranged from “playing athletics at the collegiate level” to “writing your application essay”.  Overall, the event was a tremendous experience for our students.

On Thursday, October 23rd, students from Memorial High School visited Cumberland County College for a Career Exploration Workshop that was sponsored by the Cumberland / Salem Workforce Investment Board.  Participating students got the chance to increase their knowledge of career readiness and employability skills by speaking with local professionals.  Many different industries were represented including, but not limited to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.  Students got to speak personally with representatives that discussed prospective careers and job growth.  Mary Bacon chaperoned the group and reported it was a fantastic experience!
