Oct. 11, 2022, GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Thousands of future college students and their families are invited to Grand Rapids Community College on Thursday to connect with representatives from more than 75 colleges and universities at West Michigan’s largest college and transfer fair.
High school students planning for what comes next after graduation, and adult students interested in the professional trades or entering an in-demand career, can bring their friends and family to the morning or evening college fair. Both events are free and open to the community.
Representatives from colleges and universities from Michigan and beyond will be available at the events, which are sanctioned by the Michigan Association for College Admission Counseling and the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
The college fairs are planned for 9-11 a.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. in GRCC’s Gerald R. Ford Fieldhouse, 111 Lyon St NE in Grand Rapids.
“GRCC is proud to host the college and transfer fair, helping students of all ages connect with specialists from GRCC and beyond and explore the many options for their post-secondary education,” said Lori Cook, GRCC’s associate dean of Access and First-Year Experience.
In the afternoon, current GRCC students can attend the transfer fair to learn about the opportunities available to them when they earn a GRCC certificate or degree and then transfer to the four-year college or university of their choice.
The transfer fair is also in the Ford Fieldhouse, and runs from 1-3 p.m.
Parking is available in GRCC’s Ramp A and Ramp B.
