For seniors in high school, it is that time of year where graduation is just around the corner and making a college decision is even closer. Now is also the time for juniors and sophomores to begin their college search. While Oregon State University has many events happening on campus for students to visit, many of us in the Office of Admissions will also be on the road spreading the good word of Beaver Nation to students and their families at high school visits and college fairs around the western half of the U.S. These are great opportunities to ask questions to help you make those final decisions or to gather information as you start your college search process.

Below is more information on the Spring 2013 National Association for College Admission Counseling fairs that OSU will be present at. If we are in your neighborhood, please be sure to stop by and learn more about OSU. Before attending, be sure to pre-register for the college fair. These are “scanner” fairs, meaning instead of filling out all those cards to get more information, you simply register, print out a bar code and let us scan away! Also, be sure to check out our recruit map for other upcoming visits in your area.

The fairs are free to attend we strongly encourage students to register for the fairs ahead of time. Each college/university have contact cards that students fill out to request more information, but filling out multiple contact cards can get tiring. By registering online ahead of time, students will receive a bar code that they can print out and bring with them to the fair. The bar code holds the student’s contact information and all the college counselors need to do is scan the bar code to receive all their information. It is more beneficial for the students because they then have more time to talk with the admissions representatives!
