College and Career Fair at Motlow

Motlow State Community College will host its annual area-wide College and Career Fair on Thursday, Sept. 15, inside Nisbett Center on the Moore County campus. Motlow invites its student body, students from area high schools, those who are homeschooled, and the general public.
The event is set for 9 – 11:30 a.m. and will include representatives from more than 30 colleges and universities, technology centers, specialty schools and the Armed Forces; according to Brenda Cannon, director of special events at Motlow State.

“This year, Motlow academic departments will participate as well,” continued Cannon. “By doing so, curriculum chairs and faculty have an opportunity to deliberately market their disciplines. We are expecting approximately 1,000 students from across the service area. The event is free and open to the public.”
