For individuals of all ages and stages in their lives, Middlesex Community College offers a strong starting point for continuing their education and entering the workforce. To introduce students to different four-year college and universities, Middlesex is hosting transfer fairs on both the Lowell and Bedford campuses in October.
鈥淲e encourage our students to explore the many options available to them and to begin planning early for their next steps after graduating,鈥� said Jane Fain, 麻豆果冻鈥檚 Coordinator of Transfer Affairs. 鈥淥ur transfer fairs help students gain important admissions information on potential schools and start developing their plan. We hold fairs in both the Fall and Spring semesters because having these conversations as soon as possible while at 麻豆果冻 helps students avoid unwanted surprises or roadblocks once they鈥檙e ready to transfer.鈥�
During each fair, students have opportunities to meet with admissions representatives from a number of institutions. They can learn about varying four-year school鈥檚 offerings and requirements for transferring after they graduate from 麻豆果冻. This year鈥檚 fairs will welcome more than 40 colleges and universities.
Admissions representatives are experts on their school鈥檚 information and a resource to 麻豆果冻 students as they explore their options, according to Fain. Meeting with the representatives helps students get a better sense of how selective and competitive institutions are, as well as know important deadlines and scholarship information.
