College-bound students nationwide will be participating in CollegeWeekLive, a free, online resource to help students search for an appropriate college or university, Nov. 4-7.
The University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie will be one of the institutions participating. This is UW-Stout’s second year to participate.
CollegeWeekLive is a virtual college fair that is connected to hundreds of colleges and universities that exhibit on a Web portal. According to CollegeWeekLive, its portal may make the search for an institution of higher learning easier and more cost-effective by bringing students, parents, counselors and college representatives together online, overcoming cost and distance.
Online speakers will share information about attending college, entrance exams, application essays and test preparation strategies. Registrants also will receive information on how to pay for college and compete for scholarships, take virtual campus tours and speak online with admission counselors.
For more information, contact Melissa Perez in Admissions at perezm@uwstout.edu or 715-232-2276. The college fair is online at http://www.collegeweeklive.com.
