Mt. Zion Baptist Church creates intimate college fair
A number of local high school
students and their parents will get
a "sneak preview" this weekend of
a very special coming attraction.
It's the annual event known as
College Fair, which brings college
admissions representatives and
interested parjjrs together in -a
common setting where the search
leading to college admissions is
conducted in open court. College
Fair '97 will be held at Mount
Zion Baptist Church on Sunday,
Oct. 5, beginning at 4 p.m.
According to information
announcing College Fair '97, the
event will not only feature the
usual gathering of college admis
sions officers, parents, and stu
dents, but will also include the
appearance of several local schol
arship sponsors and other educa
tional resource specialists.
Representatives from in-state and
out-of-state schools and post-sec
ondary programs will be included
in the number expected at Mount
Zion Baptist Church this Sunday.
Marion B. Simpson, who is the
chairperson for the group of
churches and community organi
zations sponsoring College Fair
'97, points out some of the fea
tures that parents and students
should find attractive about this
annual event.
"Our targeted audience and
college representatives are small
enough in number to facilitate
some very meaningful interactions
one on one," commented Simpson.
She went on to indicate that this
usually helps students and parents
get the most out of their college
search.
Explaining the history and
objectives of the local college fair,
which originated at St. Paul
United Methodist Church,
Simpson pointed out the need to
provide an alternative to the tradi
tional college fair, which usually
takes place in a larger civic setting
or on high school campuses.
"We're not in competition with
those affairs, but we wanted to
offer a supplementary setting,
which is more community-based,
and for a number of students more
. personable and more accessible in
terms of time and place," she said.
Organizers of the event this
year, who include representatives
from local churches and commu
nity support groups, have been
planning College Fair '97 for a
number of weeks now.
"Generally speaking, the insti
tutional response to our invita
tions has been good," said
Simpson. "We can only hope that
the public response to our efforts "
will be equally encouraging."
More than 300 persons were in
attendance at the 1996 College
Fair. Another record-breaking
number is anticipated for the Oct.
5 event.
When asked to give another
reason that students and parents
should attend College Fair '97 at
Mount Zion, Simpson said,
"College Fair '97 is designed with
a broad spectrum of students in
mind, but will include college rep
resentatives from a number of
post-secondary institutions that
have a historical connection with
many of the students we serve in
other phases of our work and
affiliations. We think it is a good
blending of church and communi
ty resources coming together in
the best interest of our children."

.
One of the most renowned
African-American ministers in the
