Events are a critical part of communicating college- and career-related information to your community. Some topics you may cover include:

• College applications

• Financial aid

• The college process

• Testing

• Apprenticeship opportunities

• Naviance and Common App

• Intercollegiate athletics

• HBCUs

Although you will offer events year round, you may find that there are more event opportunities in the summer, as you are targeting a great deal of information toward rising seniors during that time.

Collaboration with other schools, particularly with virtual events, is an excellent way to maximize participating in your events no matter what time of year. Share the details and registration information with other CCICs so they can advertise your events with their communities as well.
