Scores of enthusiastic students filled the halls of Byron-Bergen Jr./Sr. High School on October 13 for the school’s annual College Day. Hosted by the new College and Career Center, College Day featured the Rochester Area College Consortium and representatives from 12 local colleges and universities who were on hand to share information, answer questions, and provide direction.
“This is an opportunity for students to see that there is a wide world of options open to them when they leave high school,” said College and Career Counselor Robert Kaercher. “These colleges are right in our own backyard. They have excellent two- or four-year programs and a huge variety of majors for every interest.”
The College and Career Center provides students with resources, tools, personalized attention, and expert advice to help them find the college or career path that is right for them. In addition to the College Day event, the Center arranges for many out-of-area colleges and universities to visit the campus, especially if students have a particular interest in their programs.
The Rochester Area College Consortium’s 12 participating colleges: Alfred State, Alfred University, The College at Brockport, Finger Lakes Community College, Genesee Community College, Keuka College, Monroe Community College, Nazareth College, Roberts Wesleyan College, Rochester Institute of Technology, St. John Fisher College, and the University of Rochester.
