ECC to host Oct. 2 college fair featuring 200 colleges and universities

On Tuesday, Oct. 2, representatives from 200 in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities will be at Elgin Community College for a college fair.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. in Building J, 1700 Spartan Drive, Elgin.

Current college students, high school students and other prospective students are encouraged to attend the event to learn more about the schools they would like to attend.

This year, attendees can save time by registering for the event through www.strivefair.com where they will receive a barcode that can be shown to colleges who will then scan it to send the attendee more information about their school.

Visitors should park in the red lot marked "J" and enter the college through the lobby of Building J.

College Night is sponsored by the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling in cooperation with ECC and other area schools.
