The day will begin with registration at 9 a.m. April 4, in Dodson Auditorium on the KC campus, followed by a welcome/overview and an academic and activities fair.

“The fair will consist of booths from each of the college’s departments and campus organizations,” Ashley said. “Instructors and sponsors will be on hand to answer any questions participants may have.”

Workshops will also be presented on financial aid, scholarships, admissions, testing and residential life.  Participants can also take guided campus tours.  Potential students will also learn about on-campus activities the college offers.
