UPCOMING COLLEGE/CAREER WORKSHOPS
WITHIN THE SEATTLE AREA
(Parents
and Friends are welcomed)
Here is one more reminder to encourage your students to attend the Seattle Spring College Fair at Seattle University on Saturday, March 15. The fair, hosted by the Pacific Northwest Association for College Admission Counseling (PNACAC), will allow students the opportunity to gather information and speak to college representatives from more than 130 institutions from around the country as well as financial aid counselors and admission test representatives.
The one-day fair will be held on Saturday, March 15, from noon to 3 p.m. at Seattle University's Connolly Center, 550 14th Avenue (corner of 14th and East Cherry Street). It is free of charge and open to the general public.
A list of participating institutions can be found here:
http://www.pnacac.org/default_files/CollegeFair_Seattle08_Participants.htm
Additionally, you have hopefully received by now a poster that advertises both the Seattle and Portland PNACAC fairs. You may have noticed, however, that Seattle University is not indicated as the location for the Seattle fair; this is the unfortunate result of a misprint and a corrected version has been resent and should be in your mailbox in the coming days. Please keep an eye out and post it at your convenience.
If, in the meantime, you would like to correct your current poster, I have attached a Word document that would allow you to cut and paste the location onto the poster. Thanks to Alice Tanaka at Holy Names Academy for this helpful solution.
If you or any of your students have any questions about the fair, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 206.296.6971 or [ mailto:bishopm@seattleu.edu ]bishopm@seattleu.edu.
We hope to see your students there!
