This year the Athens Area PROBE Fair College Fair will be held on September 14, 2016 at the Classic Center from 6-8 pm. We are anticipating admissions representatives from over 100 colleges and universities from across the U.S. to be in attendance this year.    
This will afford students and parents in the Northeast Georgia area an excellent opportunity to see and learn more about a wide variety of institutions in one evening. Students are encouraged to pre-register for the Athens PROBE College Fair in advance at http://gotocollegefairs.com/ While pre-registration is not required, doing so will give each student a unique bar code allowing college representatives to quickly capture their information during the fair and leave more time for productive conversations with college representatives. Students can then receive timely information about admissions, scholarships and financial aid, and visitation days.



A reminder that Congressman Jody Hice is hosting his Service Academy Day on Saturday, September 3rd to familiarize students with the application and nomination process for the five service academies.   The event will take place from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. in the Goldstein Center for the Performing Arts Auditorium on the campus of Georgia Military College.  To learn more about this event and to access the application for nomination, candidates may visit Congressman Hice’s website at http://hice.house.gov/constituent-services/serviceacademynominations.htm or contact Jessica Hayes atJessica.hayes@mail.house.gov or (706) 564-1286.   In addition learning all about our nation’s military service academies, students will have the opportunity to attend Georgia Military College’s football game at 6pm.  The team is playing Middle Georgia State, and GMC will distribute tickets to the game at Saturday’s event. 

Fort Valley State University invites you and the students of Oconee County High School to join us on Saturday, October 8th, as we showcase our beautiful campus and exciting academic programs.
