STUDENTS EXPLORE THEIR EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS AT MIAMI – Miami-Dade County Public Schools has experienced the most successful National College fair to date held Sunday at the Doubletree Miami Mart Airport Hotel. More than 10,000 students and their parents attended the 4-hour event to meet with representatives of more than 190 colleges and universities from around the world, including Rome and the Philippines, to ask questions about admissions, financial aid and testing requirements. “I am delighted that so many students and parents were able to attend and benefit from this event,” said School Board Vice Chair Perla Tabares Hantman, who has co-chaired Miami-Dade’s College Fair for 14 years. New this year was a component that allowed students to pre-register for an electronic ID, which let them request information from multiple colleges and universities without having to fill out information cards. The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) and Miami-Dade County Public Schools sponsored the free event. # # # 10/JS/110/HD EDITOR'S NOTE: Photo attached
