THE MIRROR
On Wednesday, March 11, Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH) is hosting a college and career event in the fieldhouse for students grade 7-12, parents, counselors and teachers.
Co-sponsored by the SPASH counseling Office, SPASH Career Center and Portage County Business Council, students and parents will be able to explore over 90 colleges and universities, area
businesses, military representatives and adult apprenticeship opportunities from 2-3:30 and 4:30-7.
This event gives students and their parents an opportunity to dive deep into their post-secondary plans, making it easier for students to access resources and see what certain pathway is best for them as they prepare for their future.
Attendees are able to win prizes from individual stations along with the completion of a passport, many of the stations have challenges and hands-on experience. During last year’s session, Mid-State brought their trailer that included three-dimensional printing machines and other design machines. Military recruiters typically hold challenges involving physical activity such as a pull-up bar.
Due to the construction going on inside the building and outside of the main fieldhouse, entry, parking arrangements and the route inside to the fieldhouse will be adjusted. There will be signs and instructions around the building with directions as to how to get to the fieldhouse.
More information about the event can be found on the SPASH website.

This article was very good, I like how you included one of the last year activities that was brought. This article does a nice job of giving you a great overview of what is all included if you decide to go to this event.

You did a very good job on this. I liked how you were very descriptive. I liked how you worded it and gave plenty of information and then some when talking about what they did last year.. Was very interesting to read!

I loved the college and career fair when I went last year it was so nice being able to talk to representatives of different colleges and even to talk to the executives of some large companies. The article also captured what happens at the college and career fair however it might improve the saturation of the article by mentioning the names of the companies that come to this event for recruitment I.E. Steel King, Elis construction, etc…

This did a good job of persuading the audience with mentioning some of the cool setup that presenters begin. The college and career fair is also a really great way to your questions answered if you already know what you want to do after school.
