Extension Service in Leon County's second annual College Career Fair was held at the Jewett Civic Center, Monday, October 6, 2008. College and Career representatives were available from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. Almost 45 college and careers from across the country sent representatives to meet with Leon County secondary students and their parents. Opportunities were available for exploring college pathways based on individual needs and interests. Leon County Extension Agents Wendy and Tommy Neyland were on hand to facilitate the event and to answer questions. A variety of informational exhibits allowed participants to learn about financial aid, NCAA, essay writing for applications and scholarships, services for students with disabilities and much more. Bus service was provided from each of the five high schools throughout the morning and over 275 local youth participated in this event. Extension programs serve of all ages regardless of socioeconomic level, race, color, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.
