On January 19th, Bob Jones will be holding a College Fair and Open House.

The College Fair will feature schools such as the University of Alabama in Birmingham, Auburn University, University of South Alabama, and Alabama A&M. For a full list, click here. The fair will be held in the Commons Area from 4:30 to 6:30.

There will be two special interest meetings during the fair.  The Financial Aid session will be held in the Patriot Hall at 5:00, which is focused on applying for the FAFSA, and the Veterans Benefits session will be held in the Media Center.

“The college fair is a great way for students to be exposed to many different schools all at the same time. Some of them are schools that would be convenient for students to travel to, and others not,” Ms. Champion, the college and career advisor, said. “This is an opportunity for them [students] to speak with representatives and alumni. It is definitely for underclassmen and juniors who are starting to make decisions about where they want to go to school.”

The PTSA meeting starts at 6:15 in the Zompa Auditorium.

Following the meeting, there will be an Open House across the school from 6:30 to 7. There is no set schedule for the Open House, but parents and students are encouraged to meet with teachers and other members of the faculty.
