Students Invited to Attend College Fair
High school students from across Southeast Los Angeles County are invited to meet representatives from dozens of colleges nationwide today in Bell Gardens.
Sponsored by Assemblywoman Martha M. Escutia (D-Huntington Park), the Fourth Annual Southeast College Conference is scheduled to include workshops on admission and financial aid application procedures, as well as information booths representing 45 public and private colleges and universities.
“This year’s conference is of particular importance because of the recent decision to abolish affirmative action programs by the University of California,” Escutia said in a statement. “Students must be encouraged and helped in every way possible to pursue college educations so that they can advance professionally and economically, and help their communities.”
The conference is scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. at Bell Gardens High School, 6119 Agra St., Bell Gardens, and end at 2 p.m. For more information call: (213) 582-7774.
