Virtual College Fair - Registration is Open

Hi there,

My name is Rachel McCollough, and I am serving as VP Recruitment Services for TACRAO (Tennessee Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) Board. We are a non-profit professional organization that exchanges ideas and information on and about higher education in the State of Tennessee and nation as a whole while promoting the advancement of higher education throughout Tennessee.

As mentioned previously, TACRAO will once again be hosting a series of virtual college fairs through StriveScan, a virtual platform, for high school students, transfer students, and counselors throughout the state of Tennessee to supplement for the many face-to-face college fairs that have been canceled. Colleges and institutions across the state and out-of-state will be giving short presentations virtually with the opportunity for live Q & A for the admissions representatives.

Student registration for the virtual college fair on March 4^th is now open! During the Virtual College Fair, students will have the chance to hear from many different colleges, both in-state and out-of-state. Student, counselors, and parents can register for free at https://www.strivescan.com/tennessee/ or by using the link below. Students can register anytime up through the program that they choose to attend. Students can choose which session(s) they want to attend. We hope you will encourage your students to register for these events. Counselors are welcome to register for these fairs as well. Also, please feel free to forward this information to other counselors in your area. I have attached a poster/social media graphic that can be used to promote this event.

Check out the schedule, list of colleges, and register now!

We have decided to host these fairs statewide for the spring semester. Students across Tennessee can attend numerous sessions if they would like. High school students in each grade are welcome to attend. We are having specific transfer student fair for any students looking to transfer institutions. We are hosting these events multiple nights throughout the spring semester so students can attend sessions that work best for their schedule. 

Save the Date!

While student registration is not yet open for all of our virtual fairs, we thought it would be best to go ahead and provide the dates for future events for the spring semester. Below you can find the dates and times for the more events during the spring semester so be sure to save the date! Colleges and institutions are still registering for these events. Once registration for students opens on March 15 for these fairs, I will send another email with the registration link.

We highly encourage you to share these events with your students and other counselors in your area. Our hope is that these college fairs will allow students to continue learning about the institutions they are interested in attending and give them the opportunity to speak with institutions that they may not have been interested at the time of previous college fair events.

Please let us know have any questions. We are looking forward to sharing this virtual experience with you and your students! 

Kindly,

Rachel McCollough
