We are seeking professionals eager to share insights into their careers, providing juniors with invaluable guidance as they navigate their future paths at our College and Career Fair on Wednesday, April 3rd, from 9:00am-1:00pm. We will have all 1,600 juniors attending the college and career fair this year.
