Spring College Day gives students a chance to explore options
NORWICH – Some high school students don’t have the opportunity to visit colleges and universities before graduation, but that’s OK, because next week representatives from those schools are coming to them.
Each year, recruiters from more than 50 colleges and universities travel to Norwich for Spring College Day, sponsored by the Chenango County School Counselors Association. This year’s event will take place from 10:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7 at the YMCA in Norwich.
According to Norwich High School Counselor Kathy Stratton, College Day gives local students a chance to meet face to face with representatives from these institutions so they can ask questions and gather information about options open to them after graduation. Military recruiters and local lending institutions will also be on hand for the event.
“This year is smaller,” said current CCSCA president Candice Poyer, who is a high school counselor at Sherburne-Earlville. She attributes the number of two- and four-year schools attending, down from roughly 90 last year, to the state of the economy. Most of the colleges and universities who will be represented this year are from New York, with a few from neighboring states.
The event is targeted at high school juniors, explained Poyer, and most local schools will be bringing their students down at intervals throughout the day. But others are welcome as well, including younger students, parents and community members, she said. “It’s definitely open to everybody.”
To encourage students to attend, there will be assorted prizes and even a $100 cash award. “We just try to get the kids excited about it,” Stratton said.
