College & Career Night a Success

By Lora Evans, 2022 College & Career Night Chair

The Junior League of Montgomery’s College & Career Night was once again a success. This important event gives students a chance to meet face to face with representatives from colleges across the Southeast, as well as explore different career opportunities from across the River Region.

More than 1,800 students attended the 38th annual College & Career Night from 5 to 8 p.m. on Monday, September 12, 2022, at the Multiplex at the Cramton Bowl in downtown Montgomery. This year’s attendees included high school students, parents, and counselors from Montgomery, Autauga, Elmore, Lowndes, Chilton, Crenshaw, Macon, and Lee counties.

“For decades, College and Career Night has been an invaluable resource to high school students in the River Region. This year’s event offered thousands of students an opportunity to meet representatives from colleges, the public service community, and other agencies who provided invaluable information about their respective colleges and organizations,” 2022-2023 Junior League Montgomery President Ashley White said. “My daughter, who is a junior, and I enjoyed meeting with different college representatives and learning about what the colleges had to offer.”

Thanks to the hard work of this year’s committee, we increased booth sales by 30 to have over 100 college and career opportunities for students in the River Region to browse.

Representatives from universities, colleges, and community colleges from across the state of Alabama, as well as several from across the Southeast had booths at the event. Several local businesses in plumbing, HVAC, aviation, and health care industries also had booths at the 2022 College & Career Night.
