This year, the Mississippi Association of College Registrars and Admission Officers (MACRAO) will be working with organizations like the Mississippi Department of Education, MAIS, the Mississippi Community College Board, and Get2College to encourage and support efforts to host consolidated and regional events across the state to increase the exposure students receive to opportunities available to them after graduation. If you plan to host a college fair, please consider inviting other area schools to help college reps make the most of their travel across the state to see your students.
Please also note MACRAO has a few guidelines for best practices when planning a college fair. College fairs should ideally be no longer than two hours and include only juniors and seniors at the high school level.
In an effort to maximize attendance at your fair, dates have been set for the MACRAO districts to aid in planning your fair. The suggested dates for college fairs based on MACRAO districts are listed below. Please see the District Map for reference.
Suggested dates:
- District 1: October 2 – 18
- District 2: October 2 – 18
- District 4: September 18 – 29
- District 5: October 16 – November 3
- District 6: October 16 – November 3
