ACTC spring transfer program fair connects students to future opportunities
ASHLAND, Ky. – Ashland Community and Technical College (ACTC) hosted their annual spring Transfer Program Fair on the College Drive Campus from March 24-27.
The four-day long event gives students the chance to connect with university representatives to learn about their colleges and explore opportunities to further their education beyond their time at ACTC.
The theme for the fair this spring was “Become an Investigator.”
“It is so rewarding to see students discover new opportunities and help them individually reach their long-term academic goals,” said Megan Horne, ACTC director of program facilitation, student support services/TRIO and transfer initiatives. “In addition to transfer fairs, interested students can go on visits to universities with ACTC Advisors or even take a course on transfer planning, for more in-depth exploration of their transfer options. We strive to educate students about their many future possibilities after graduation from ACTC.”
With over 20 colleges/universities in attendance, the students that passed through the fair had many great options to consider. Throughout the week, several colleges hosted presentations on their program offerings that students could attend in person or remotely.
Topics covered in the college’s presentations included cybersecurity, forensics, artificial intelligence, and other investigation-related careers.
Among those who presented was Keith Alfred Wynn, Assistant Director of Transfer Recruitment at the University of Kentucky.
“I’ve been working with Ashland Community and Technical College for five years in my role at UK, and I cannot even begin to express how wonderful their transfer fair is,” Wynn said. “Their event is extraordinarily well-planned, well-organized, and well-attended. The perfect trifecta.”
Wynn also said the students are always well prepared, serving as a testament to how ACTC prepares them for not only this event, but for their future.
Other colleges/universities in attendance included:
Marshall University, Franklin University, Morehead State University, University of Pikeville, Kentucky State University, Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science, Midway University, Marshall University School of Pharmacy, Shawnee State University, Ohio University, Berea College, Asbury University, University of Kentucky, Bellevue University, Morehead State University, Sullivan University, Lindsey Wilson College, University of Cincinnati, Eastern Kentucky University, Northern Kentucky University, and Mid-America College of Funeral Service.
