Wabash Valley colleges partner for Virtual College Information Week

TERRE HAUTE – Indiana State University, Ivy Tech Community College, and Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods College have partnered to host Virtual College Information Week for high school students and recent graduates January 11-14. Colleges are working in partnership to talk with students about their interests, answer questions, and offer personalized assistance. Registration is required to attend.

During the virtual events, high school students and their parents can get free help filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), learn about educational options, and transfer pathways. Students will also have the option to get one-on-one assistance applying to their colleges of choice.

Monday, January 11 – Linton, Shakamak, Sullivan, White River Valley

Tuesday, January 12 – Parke Heritage, Riverton Parke, Clay City, Northview

Wednesday, January 13 – North and South Vermillion, West Vigo, Vigo Virtual

Thursday, January 14 – Terre Haute North and South, Booker T. Washington

High school students who graduated in December 2020 are encouraged to attend to learn about their options for starting classes in spring or summer.

Students who wish to enter the workforce quickly can learn about tuition-free short-term certificates offered through Indiana’s Next Level Jobs program. The certificates count toward associate degrees and potentially transfer to bachelor’s degree programs. This offers students a pathway to careers that will benefit them in the short-term, and college degrees which will benefit them in the long-term.

Parents and students must register in advance to attend. Register at ivytech.edu/terrehaute (Click College Information Week.) Questions can be directed to Amanda Cox at acox87@ivytech.edu or (812) 298-2232.
