Students explore their futures at College/Trade Fair | DHS Telegram ...
On Friday October 28, 2011, Dixon High School held its’ 8th annual College/Trade Fair. What exactly is the College Fair? This unique event at DHS allows Junior and Senior students to walk around the cafeteria, where there are many different booths set up. Each one of these booths represents a different college that is near Dixon. At each one of these booths sat one or a few different representatives from that specific school. This was a great oppurtunity for students to talk to specialists from the different colleges around Dixon.
October 28, 2011 was a minimum day for all DHS students due to the College Fair. Each class was about 35 minutes long, much shorter than students were used to. This included no breaks, no lunch, and school ended at 12:25. On Friday, the upperclassmen were brought to the cafeteria during their English class. Since each class was only 35 minutes long, the students did not get very long to spend looking at their desired colleges. However, some students were able to spend their time wisely and efficiently.
At the College Fair, there were 20 different colleges. There were vocational schools, community colleges, CSU’s, a UC, a private universtiy, and different branches of the US Military. Seeing as there were so many different options, it was hard for the students to visit all of them. At each station, the colleges had their own little display. Many of the displays had personalized pens, lanyards, or other little toys that students found fascinating. These “toys” attracted students, which is how the colleges were able to talk to them. There were a total of 7 career, technical, and vocational schools. This included the Blake Austin College, Carrington College, Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, The Art Institutes, The California Academy; A Paul Mitchell Partner School, Universal Technical Institute, and Wyotech. Many of these schools had to do with more of the “art” aspects of a career, or a career that has to do with cosmotology. Of course there are many students who dream of going into these fields, which is why these schools were there.
