Springfield College To Host College Fair In Partnership With Springfield Public Schools On October 25

Springfield, MA (10/18/2023) — Springfield College is proud to serve as host for a College Fair for Springfield Public Schools seniors on October 25.

This unique event will allow all seniors currently enrolled in Springfield Public Schools the opportunity to explore the next steps of their educational pursuit. Over 1,000 high school students will be on Springfield College's campus from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on October 25. While on campus, students will have the chance to speak with representatives from over 60 colleges and universities, as well as local community resources to learn about different future options.

"We couldn't be more excited to host this event and expose students from our community to the many opportunities that await them in their educational pursuits. Providing the access to foster the spirit of excellence that these students possess is something that we on campus are very much looking forward to, "explained Springfield College President, Mary-Beth Cooper.

October is College and Career Awareness Month, and Springfield Public Schools continues to expand on its year-long efforts to introduce students and families to the boundless possibilities of college and career.

"We are extremely grateful to Springfield College for hosting this valuable opportunity for our students to move one step closer to achieving their college aspirations," said Superintendent of Schools Daniel Warwick. "Our counselors put forth Herculean efforts every day, but we know that community support of the breadth and depth of that which Springfield College is demonstrating makes the world of difference. It provides students with exponentially more hands-on exposure to colleges and universities than is possible inside a school building. I'd personally like to thank Springfield College President Mary Beth Cooper and Vice President for Inclusion and Community Engagement Calvin Hill for their tremendous show of support for the future of Springfield students."
