We want to welcome you back to our MACRAO Virtual College Fair experience! This fall, we are still offering statewide, open registration events with our affiliated colleges and universities in attendance. Individual registration will allow you and your students to access the college fairs and join in on your own time. Registrants will be able to browse the virtual college "booths", take virtual campus tours, and even gather information about scholarships or how to begin the application process. In addition, once a person registers they have access to LIVE dates to engage and chat in real-time with college admissions counselors.
We HIGHLY encourage you to share this information with all of your students and families! These fairs are NOT limited only to our seniors - we would love to see all high school grades in attendance! Student registration will open on September 21, 2021.
