“The only challenges, and this is true with anything you try to put together, is making sure that everything is done in a timely fashion, in good order, and that we are on top of it.” cjuarez.roundupnews@gmail.com

More than 50 representatives from various colleges will be on campus to answer students’ transfer questions during the College Fair on Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., on the Mall.

Colleges such as Sacramento State University, Humboldt State University and UC Berkeley, will be at Pierce for this semester’s fair.

Transfer Center Director Sunday Salter said the College Fair can benefit students who need direction toward transferring.

Salter said there will be workshops from 1-2 p.m. Arizona State, UCLA, and Pepperdine will be going over admissions overview.

“Traditionally, we only have one per year in the fall, and it’s during that time, because the fall is when students are applying to transfer,” Salter said.

“So it’s a good time for those who are ready to ask their questions to the universities.”

According to Salter, fall is also a good time for a college fair because students are preparing and thinking about where they want to transfer.

“It’s also a great time for students who aren’t ready to transfer, and just start getting an idea about what’s out there,” Salter said. “So many of our students are fixated on the UC’s, CSU’s, UCLA and CSUN in particular, but there are 23 Cal States, nine UCs and many private and outof-state schools.”

Salter said they can ask questions about admissions, majors, financial aid, scholarships, when to apply, and about the general application process. Salter said there will be churros and hot dogs at the fair.

“It’s a good day to come out, regardless of where you’re at and your planning, and just get some of your questions answered and see what’s out there,” Salter said.
