Wyandanch Memorial High School proudly held its annual fall college fair on Oct. 29, welcoming more than 280 students from grades 10 through 12. The event transformed the school’s gymnasium into a hub of opportunity, with over 80 colleges, universities and trade schools on hand to help students explore life after high school.
This year’s fair featured a range of institutions, providing students with insights into many academic programs and career paths. Among the schools attending were Molloy University, Penn State University, Stevens Institute of Technology, Suffolk County Community College and Towson University along with many others from across the region and nation.
“Our goal is to equip our students with the resources and connections to make informed choices about their future,” said Guidance Counselor Dexter Ward. “The college fair is a vital part of our commitment to preparing our students for success, whether they pursue higher education, trade careers or other paths.”
The representatives from each institution engaged with students individually, answering questions, discussing financial aid options and sharing details on academic programs, campus life and the application process. The event also included trade schools and the military ensuring that students interested in vocational training, technical careers or serving in the armed forces could explore those options.
